  Just wondering as back in March time (I think?), Buttercup had slight molar spurs. Since then, she’s had her teeth checked twice and they’ve been fine. Now Peanut has slight spurs on his left hand side.

  Yes, they can. If the cause is a diet poor in fiber and not misalignement of the jaws – or if (as I’d suspect in your case) the bun’s jaws become aligned as the bunny matures. It prob has to do with the interaction between jaw skeletal bone and muscle-setting (jaw muscles are very strong in an adult bun).

  That’s reassuring, thanks! I’ve always thought Buttercup ate the most hay but after trying Burns Green Oat hay and Oxbow Orchard, both Peanut and Buttercup devour it.
  
  I get paid next week so I’ll be buying tons of orchard and oat and I’ll stop the readigrass completely. More fibre in the Oxbow than the readigrass!
