Injury is of course not great, but as overgrown incisors go, this sounds like a best case scenario. That your vet filed the bottom teeth is great, since it wont get natural wear until the broken-off teeth grow back. Good job taking her to the vet 🙂

Thanks all for the replies.

Well the broken tooth was sticking straight out this morning and had fallen off before we even made it to the vet.  No infection, and it wasn’t a terribly deep break so the tooth is expected to regrow.   The other teeth all looked OK.  The vet filed down the bottom tooth opposite the broken one. Scheduled to go bac…[Read more]

I was going to suggest that perhaps the other incisor was damaged. If one is broken off, it can cause the other the become misaligned. As Wick said, it can get to the point where it isn’t connecting with the lower incisors anymore and then there isn’t that wearing action anymore.

Bell peppers are fine to feed on a regular basis. They are considered a vegetable. Personally, I never had much luck with bell peppers. But some bunnies like them.

Bell peppers are fine, but not every day. They are like candy to bunnies and buns should probably have them around 3 times a week.

Thanks!  I was able to get a bit of a closer look and it looks like one of the top incisors might be broken.  It looks like it’s over the other top incisor and angled outward.  Hopefully I can get her to the vet ASAP.

Rabbits can eat bell peppers. Not all rabbits want to though. Wash the bell peppers carefully to remove pesticide residue, remove stem, core and seeds and obviously feed in moderation.

The House Rabbit Society has bell peppers on their Safe Veg-list.

If you’re able to see a single tooth that easily outside the mouth with only slight parting the lips, that likely does indicate something is wrong– usually it’s nicely lined up top incisors. Contacting the vet was the right move.

There is no way to diagnose what’s going on based on the photo. Rabbit teeth continuously grow, so one thought is…[Read more]

I agree with the others she probably just needs time.

I have an anecdote that might be reassuring for you, when I first got my boy at the tiny age of 9 weeks he spent the first month or two in the corner of the room I was quite sad he didn’t really come out, although he enjoyed fuss in his safe corner. He explored more and more bit by bit. Flash…[Read more]

Rabbits are curious and like to explore, but they will only explore from a spot where they feel safe and secure. It’s good to arrange several safe spots around the area that the bun has access too.

Safe spots can be an upside-down csrdboard box with two doorholes, a tunnel (crinkly or plastic or cardboard), a low table or a chair. Rabbits feel…[Read more]

Please don’t be hard on yourself. I don’t think you need to be concerned. EveryBun has a different personality. My oldest bun, we’ve been together for over 10 years and he still won’t let me pet him unless forced, held in arms, and he obviously doesn’t like. He shows his love through tons of nose bumps. I’ve had 7 or so rescue buns throughout the…[Read more]

Also doing what you can to make the ground most interesting, such as putting toys and such around, can keep them more grounded!

Thank you 😀 !! I will try placing more sheets on the floor with one of her hideouts for her to feel more comfortable and definitely try encourage movement with pellets as she will go wherever her food is which is how i got her to move around the living room lol

The door is always open,, but she seems to only stay in one half of the room lol she refuses to go near the door now but she did when i first got her
