  I have noticed for a little while that when I pet Dexters head, he does his tooth purrs but sometimes he does them differently. He will put his bottom jaw forward, like he has an underbite and purr that way. It looks kind of weird cause you can see his front top teeth behind his lower teeth. Is this normal?! And is it normal for buns to curl their feet/toes? Dexter does this quite often but then I hold his little foot and he relaxes them?!

  I don’t know about the purring thing, but the toe curling is normal. Fern curls her toes if she feels uncomfortable, to me it is a good indicator because I can see easily when she is uncomfortable.

  He does it when he purrs, so I dont think it is an uncomfortable moment, he just does it randomly when he lays down.
