Hello, Don't panic, but in a few weeks when it has settled down, take it to a vet who will trim it professionally - click on the"Vets and …….." box. Overgrowth is usually caused by feeding soft food, such as lettuce. A diet of plants, (mainly 'weeds') with course stems is ideal - something to gnaw on. Regards, Tom | |
