Many might be noticing the color of the rodent incisor teeth (front teeth) as sort of "dirty orange". Are these rodents DELIBERATELY disobeying their rodent parents by not brushing?
(please comment)
Another thing about teeth in rodents, most of you know the word "rodent" means "to gnaw" and "tooth" (latin: rodare and dentis), but did you realize the teeth grow throughout the rodent's life? Those must be strong bones!

It's kinda creepy their teeth keep growing.

Maybe we should invent a rodent toothbrush. These rodents need to go to the dentist.

Perhaps it's just the color on their teeth or some sort of rodent teeth coating. I tried to find something on the internet about rodent teeth but couldn't find anything. I didn't get any e-mail about rodents.

Rodentia teeth need to be really strong so they sequester (coat) their tooth enamel in IRON--thats why the teeth have a dirty red (looks like rust, doesn't it?) look. I read some research about an experiment where the researchers were able to isolate the gene for iron teeth!
