To:Richard L. Green I have got a female 8 years old, and some younger ones, her teeth (canines) were cut at the age of 6 months and still in perfect condition. Only a small number will get problems. If the ferret is in good condition, and the tooth is not split, there should be more risk in --wait and see-- than taking some other choice. The use of a dental bur to straiten the top of the teeth will be an advantage. Good luck- Bill [Posted in FML issue 1356]
