I need white teeth HELP.

I really need help on how to feed her, and I would also like to know if her teeth will grow back?

• My 5 month old, female, Syrian hamster had an accident. She was climbing and biting the bars on her cage and all of a sudden, she sneezed, let go of the bars with her feet, but forgot to let go with her teeth. Her top teeth had snapped off. They also told us that with time they would grow back. I noticed a short while after when she yawned that her top teeth had fallen out. And every time she 'attempts' to eat, her bottom teeth re-open the wound. So I really need help on how to feed her, and I would also like to know if her teeth will grow back? I know hamsters teeth grow constantly, but she has had no teeth for a few weeks now.. Help?

• Answer:

  Hamster teeth, like every other rodent's, grow continuously. They should grow back. If she hasn't shown signs of new teeth growing in, bring her back to the vet, it seems like a long time since the accident for her to still have no top teeth. In the meantime, take some of her food that you give her, wet it, and process it in a blender until it's a fine paste. That will keep getting your hammy her nutrients without requiring her to chew. Her bottom teeth may need to be clipped, but I would not advise doing that at home. Ask a vet if they can do it for you, because you're concerned that her bottom teeth are going to injure her further, and likely grow improperly because she can't keep them trimmed on her own. If her teeth don't grow back on top, you may need to keep clipping her teeth and blending her food, or put her to sleep ): Sorry to hear your hammy's having a rough time ):
