So if you won't stop feeding sugary items for the gut, do it for the teeth. Chins can and do get cavities just like humans.

I honestly believe this is what happened to Richie. Before I knew any better, Richie had a diet of good pellet, hay & filtered water PLUS a daily dose of raisins & peanuts.....and not just one a day. Thank God I found this forum. When he first displayed signs of malo, and he was xray'd and had a tooth filing, his one tooth just feel out. sad
Not really, no - true malocclusion (i.e. misalignment of the jaw) is not that common in chinchillas. What gets termed as malocclusion more often than not are root and/or coronal elongation - those are not true malocclusion.do you think that in the chins that it is not genetic, that the poor diet and tooth decay leads to the mis alignment of the jaw?
