Long teeth

[Ralph]

Hi there again ,

Another question about the front teeth , they seems a little long…
I know about products for naturally grinding the teeth, but they seem to be touching (top and bottom) ,
what do about this ?

Thank you

Here’s a good article with a diagram on teeth that you might find helpful:

thanks for sharing that helpful article Sarita    it’s a good idea to provide sticks – such as apple for him to munch on. 

His teeth should be meeting – but here’s an article on how to do an at home tooth checkup from Dr Harvey: http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-9/oral-health.html

also – adding some newspaper or mats on the floor of your bunny’s house would help prevent him from developing sore hocks.

Yes, do add something to the bottom of his cage! He will be more comfortable too. Grassmats are very good for this and he can rest comfortably on them rather on the wires of the cage. You can put a litter box in one corner too that he uses the most to help get him litterbox trained.

I do reccomend the vet check though as my rocky does need his teeth cuz every 10 days or so. Most rabbits that need teeth cut i think is 2-3 months…if only!
