Question
MY GUINEA PIG HAS KNOCKED HIS TEETH OUT.WILL THEY GROW BACK? AND IF THEY DON'T WILL HE BE ABLE TO EAT WITH ONLY HIS BOTTOM TEETH


Answer
Amy --

Well, if he has knocked them out, roots and all, they will most likely not grow back.  However, if he has just broken them off, they will most certainly grow back.  To determine your next step, I would take the animal to a vet and have him examine the teeth to see if there is still enough to grow back.  

Hope this is helpful.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.  Good luck!
