What happens if a rabbit doesn’t grind its teeth for a while?
A rabbit's teeth keep growing, and if they go a long time without grinding, the teeth may become too long and pierce the oral soft tissue, causing infection. Also, overlong teeth cannot bite together normally, so the rabbit cannot chew food fully, which easily affects digestion and absorption and leads to gastrointestinal discomfort and constipation. Therefore, to maintain the rabbit's oral and digestive health, the owner needs to regularly provide chances to grind its teeth - for example, give the rabbit some special chew toys, or chewing foods like hay and apple branches.
