Tooth grinding, known as bruxism, in rabbits is often a strong indicator of pain or discomfort. Unlike a soft purring sound, painful tooth grinding is usually louder and more audible. This could be due to dental problems like overgrown teeth, which are common in rabbits, or it could signal pain from abdominal issues, urinary tract problems, or even injuries. Rabbits are prey animals and hide illness well, so any sign of pain should be addressed immediately. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance, but a prompt in-person vet visit is often necessary to diagnose the source of pain.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
