I pulled a bunny from a shelter named Luchi. Her top teeth were overgrown and curved inward, so she actually had a wound on her lower lip and chin from where the teeth rubbed against her face. She would only eat pellets, but once the teeth were trimmed, she really enjoyed hay.

We have had several bunnies in The Haven who’ve had teeth pulled. They can get along fine if their veggies are shredded first. They eat hay like spaghetti, but cannot crunch on whole veggie leaves.
