Drooling in rabbits is a strong indicator of dental problems, often overgrown or misaligned teeth (malocclusion). Rabbit teeth grow continuously, and without proper wear from a high-fiber diet (primarily hay), they can develop painful spurs or points that cause oral discomfort, leading to drooling, difficulty eating, and weight loss. Other signs include selective eating, wet fur around the chin, or tooth grinding. It’s essential to have a rabbit-experienced vet examine your pet's teeth, as they may need filing or other dental work. Providing unlimited access to good quality hay is fundamental for prevention.
