Question:
I notice tonight that Jigsaw is doing some weird teeth gritting. It sounds like she's chewing on something REALLY hard or just rubbing her teeth hard together. She does this while she's playing, eating, sitting around, etc, but it like really loud. I checked her teeth and they seem fine. From what I can tell she has nothing stuck in her mouth either. What could this be? I'm going to call her vet tomorrow and ask what she thinks it might be but I'm just a bit worried for tonight


Answer:
OMG
Please ignore this question as Jigsaw just spit out a hawthorn berry seed and immediately stopped the gritting she must of had it caught in the back teeth where I could not see!

sophie i am glad that was all it was.....


Answer:
I'm REALLY glad that's all it was! I could already hear the vet telling me she is malocluding and would have to be put down. How much of a panic freak am I?
As soon as I hit the submit button, Jigsaw looked at me, pulled the seed out of her mouth and chucked it aside. Then she gave me this look like "What the heck kind of treat is this? I can't even chew through it!"
I completely forgot I'd given her a couple berries hidden in her pellets the night before. She must have been keeping them as a snack for later.


Answer:
My violent violet girl, Jenna, does that when I touch her. Yesterday I got her out of the cage and held her, you know-just to keep her semi-tame...and she ground/grinded(?) her teeth the whole time. She's the only one I have that does it though...


Answer:
LOL! Thank god that's all it was! Silly chinnies!
