At Beecroft Animal Specialist & Emergency Hospital, our Exotic Animal team regularly manages dental conditions in rabbits — and prevention plays a key role in lifelong wellbeing.
🦷 How to support healthy rabbit teeth:
🌾 Hay-based diet
Unlimited, good-quality hay is essential. It promotes natural tooth wear and supports gut health.
🩺 Regular veterinary check-ups
Routine dental assessments allow early detection of overgrowth, spurs, and alignment issues before they become painful.
🧸 Appropriate chew toys
Rabbit-safe wooden toys encourage natural chewing behaviours and help prevent dental overgrowth.
🥬 Fibrous vegetables
Leafy greens and fibrous vegetables contribute to healthy chewing and dietary balance.
✨ Early care prevents long-term dental disease
Dental issues are one of the most common conditions seen in rabbits — but with the right husbandry and veterinary support, many are preventable.
If you have concerns about your rabbit’s eating habits, drooling, or facial swelling, seek veterinary advice early. Our Exotic Animal team is here to help.
