  Hello,
  
  I have a two year old loin head mix,
  
  recently I notice her teething grinding is louder than usual.
  usually it’s pretty hard to hear and only when I’m petting her.
  but today i can hear it without touching her but she is next to me so idk if that’s loud enough to be pain.
  she is still eating and pooping. But also when she is eating it seems louder than normal.
  also not a consistent sound. She be eating it pretty loud. Then she will stop and go back and be quiet.
  i just can’t tell

  Sometimes tooth grinding needs to have context in order to be interpreted. Some bunnies are just louder than others when they tooth purr. If your bunny seems generally content, then that is likely all it is – purring. If your bunny seems restless or hunched or is displaying other symptoms of pain, then it could be tooth grinding in response to pain. Or… you can have a weird bunny that will do a single tooth grind out of frustration (often followed by a foot flick). My bunny did this.
  
  Keep in mind that some bunnies are just loud when they eat too. LOL I could hear mine munching hay from across the room.
