Dental Health Month-
Dental care is crucial for the overall health and well-being of rabbits, rats, chinchillas, ferrets, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, and hedgehogs who all have mouths that require dental care throughout their lifetime. Just like other animals, they possess distinct dental needs, underscoring the importance of maintaining optimal oral hygiene for various reasons, including the prevention of overgrowth and malocclusion, as well as support for proper nutrition.
