    Teeth grinding is often associated with pain, but it’s all about context. Some rabbits like to bathe in the sun and warmth (why is beyond me considering they’re wearing fur coats 24/7) and the grinding can come from relaxation. As LBJ mentions, it could also be disapproval with the weather.

    Also, because rabbit owners can be very attentive, it could be completely separate from weather altogether and you’re just noticing it happening while it also happens to be a hot time of year.

     

    Lots of potential explanations. I tend to veer towards “It’s probably fine” in a lot of cases unless objective signs of illness appear.
