    No, it is not true buy a special stone from pet store that it can grind its teeth on some pet stores have flavoured stones that hamsters like to bite on.

    no it IS true - the roots (rather than the crowns) of the hamsters cheek teeth (premolars and molars) grow upwards into the maxilla and put pressure on various tissues. However, this is unusual. and does not apply to the incisors. if the incisors are too long, get your vet to clip them.

      No - her teeth will not grow into her head but theu can be too long to eat with anymore and they can starve. Make sure there is some wood or stone in the cage so they can trim their teeth. A vet told us before that we can trim them with nail clippers but we chose to take her to the vet and let him do it.

      We used to give our hamsters Milk Bone dog biscuits. They love to gnaw on them, it keeps their teeth trimmed, and it's a good source of calcium for them.

      I think it's not nessisarly true but if they are to long the hamster won't eat and starve so if you think they are over 3 centimeters, TAKE THEM TO A VET SO THEY CAN TRIM THEIR TEETH!!!!!
