I was just wondering what colour pet rats teeth should be to be considered healthy, as I have only just really noticed my rats are orange =S. Mine is about a year and a half old now if that makes any difference =D Thanks!


I have 2 rats and both their teeth are yellow and they don’t seem to bother them so i figured it’s pretty normal
Thanks for the information you provide
thanks i was just wondering because this is my first pet rat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My rats all have a light yellow color.
Pet rats have light yellow teeth.
Orangish yellow is the color of normal healthy rat teeth
rats have yellow teeth because i think they eat all the small snacks and don’t brush their teeth (lol) so their teeth might turn colour.
No most rodents natural teeth colouration is shades of yellow & orange. So your rats teeth colour is perfectly normal.
In fact its much more/rare unusual to have rodents with white teeth!
As baby rodents are born with yellow/orange teeth.
So don’t worry its normal! xxx
yellow/orange is healthy. it is important to give your rat things to chew to help keep them worn down, as overgrown teeth can be a problem.
rats teeth actually grow faster than cavities can form, so plaque buildup is not a problem for them!
Healthy rats have yellow teeth,try giving more healthy foods 2 urz,it’ll help
