The problem with pellets is that they contain little moisture, so you better have a bottle of water bent so that he can drink when he’s thirsty. Try not to use any type of open bowls, with a chin that you can easily become dirty or wet (not good). If youit must use the bowl to time, be sure to use heavy clay bowl or stainless steel that is connected to the cage.

If they are too long and make him feel comfor, then you should take him to the vet to get your teeth filed down.
