Contrary to its appearance, the yellow/orange color of the rat incisor is not a sign of poor hygiene — it is perfectly normal. Rather, the color of the incisor enamel is due to the presence of an iron-containing pigment, and the shade of orange deepens with age starting about 21 days after birth.

Orange toofs means hellfy toofs for ratties ????
The yellow-orange color comes from an iron-based pigment that helps strengthen the tooth enamel. It’s the sign of a healthy rat tooth.
