Since he's a rodent and has ever growing teeth, about every 3 months his teeth become too long and we need to have the veterinarian come out to trim them down to a proper length.

We've found that having the vet come to Animal Wonders is the least stressful way of doing this procedure. Kemosabe starts eating again the same night, which tells us this isn't that stressful for him. When we used to have him travel to the vet clinic and be put under general anesthesia for the trimming, it would take about a week for him to be back to his normal behavior.

Even though he's not much of a fan of the whole process, he's much happier once his teeth are trimmed!\n
