Dear Matisse and Andrea,
An experienced exotics vet will probably do a teeth trimming very cheap.
You can do it yourself, but it makes me a little nervous!  I used to do it
for my last piggy, because his teeth grew so quickly!  Use fingernail
clippers and just trim them like nails, but the tricky part is trying to
clip in between tongue licks. And take off just the tips.  Aack!  Don't
worry, it doesn't hurt.  They just get nervous too.  Good luck!  And keep us
posted.  oh yeah, a carrot treat right after trimming usually wipes their
little memories of the bad event clean!  --Jenni & Beethoven
