guinea pigs top teeth fell out

Question
I have a 2 month old guinea pig and his two top teeth have fallen out.  My son did drop him a week ago but there didn't seem to be any trauma to his teeth.  Do guinea pigs lose teeth normally?  What should I do?

Answer
Hi Becky

The bottom teeth are the ones predominantely used to chew food but depending on which two teeth have falen out will determine how much of a problem it is.

Does he seem to be showing signs of difficulty in eating hard foods such as vegetables?

The fall could have been the cause of the problem. I wouldnt leave anything to chance, I would consult a vet for my own peace of mind.

Please write back if you have any other questions, particularly if you can tell me which teeth exactly are missing.
