  Hey guys! Just wondering why my boy is suddenly grooming so much. He had his teeth ‘sawed’ down back in August, could it be related to that – like, as in he needs it again? Or maybe from stress? He’s 5, will be 6 in March. He’s a dutch rabbit. He’s also not molting atm so it’s not that…

  Hard to say! Did his vet say he might be needing regular trims? Often, a rabbit will stop grooming when they are having some dental related pain. But some can take to chewing their fur as a way to cope too..
  
  Grooming themselves can be a comforting this also. Self-soothing. Has he been stressed about anything in the household?
