Differences for “ Teeth Trimming ”

**Sugar glider teeth <nowiki>DO NOT GROW.  Sugar gliders are marsupials 
and not rodents.  Their teeth DO NOT GROW and DO NOT NEED TO BE 
TRIMMED.</nowiki>**
  
If you were to file, grind or trim the front two teeth, your animal would 
suffer endless pain probably for the rest of its life and it may even soon die 
from infection.  Trim your own teeth first please before trying it on your 
little sugar glider.
  
Please do not subject your little animal to such a procedure.  Any vet that 
would suggest this is obviously not an exotics vet and should be avoided at all 
costs and probably reported, at least to the community.
  
Be aware that vets often refer to trimming as floating.  A "float" is 
another name for a file, so floating is filing.  Always ask question of your 
vet.  If you do not understand something, ask about it.  You are paying them to 
get exactly what you want and not necessarily always what they think you want.
  
Healthy teeth should be long and pointy and should look like this.
