Question
My hamsters top and bottom left teeth just turned white for some reason but the
other ones are still brown....is this bad for him?? if so do you know what
caused it and will he ever get better?


Answer
Hi Madi,

    A hamsters teeth are generally a white or a yellowish color (more yellowish though). The teeth that are brown, could be bad. If the hamsters gums look red, swollen or have discharge (pus) coming from them, then he should be seen by a vet.
