My rabbit's teeth seem to be growing very long. Is this a concern?

[]

Answer

Rabbit's teeth continuously grow throughout their lives, and if they don't have enough appropriate items to chew on, they can become overgrown. Overgrown teeth, especially molars, can cause serious problems like difficulty eating, pain, abscesses, and weight loss. It's crucial to provide unlimited access to high-quality hay, which is essential for dental wear. Also, offer safe chew toys made of untreated wood. If you suspect overgrown teeth, please see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian promptly, as they may need to trim or burr the teeth down to prevent further complications. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
