Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Loud teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, in rabbits is often a strong indicator of pain or discomfort. Unlike a soft purr, loud grinding suggests a more significant issue, potentially related to dental problems (like molar spurs), gastrointestinal stasis, urinary tract infections, or other internal pain. Rabbits are prey animals and hide illness well, so any sign of pain should be taken seriously. An immediate veterinary examination is crucial to identify the source of the pain and provide appropriate treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
