Let’s talk about rabbit dental health! 🦷
Our furry little friends have open rooted teeth, meaning they constantly grow, up-to a rate of 2-2.4mm a week! 📏
Rabbits typically grind their own teeth down naturally through a naturally coarse diet made up of high fibre components such as hay or grass 🐰
Unfortunately for some rabbits, diet isn’t enough 😞 if a rabbit has a malocclusion, or put simply a misalignment of their teeth, they will not grind down properly; creating the problem below!👇
This little bun was very good to have his teeth cut down, this is a process that is quick and simple, in most cases sedation is not required, and it will make all the difference to his digestion. If rabbits don’t eat constantly, due to being hind gut fermenters, they can go into gut-stasis which is life threatening 🚨
