Trimming a rabbits teeth- malocclusion, BunnyCentral.com

Trimming a rabbits teeth - from www.bunnycentral.com. Sometimes a rabbits teeth are mis-aligned. DON'T Worry THIS IS VERY RARE. However occasionally it can happen by pulling on a cage, a fall or from a congenital (genetic) condition. They overlap, grow too long and can interfere with eating - to the point of death. These mis-aligned teeth need to be trimmed frequently, here's how to do it. I suggest you have a vet examine your rabbit first to see if the back molars are involved. There are problems in doing this yourself. If you cannot afford a vet then you can try this if it is the only way to avoid having to put your rabbit to sleep. This was a stranger's rabbit that came to me for help.

The pop artist Marina Diamandis, or better known by her stage name Marina & The Diamonds, shared this video on a social network site, so many of her fans (including me) checked out this video :P

Haha I meant to say I used bunny nail clippers

[bunnycentral]

@becca2233 : That's good as you actually grip the one or two teeth and hopefully avoid the lips.

I don't recommend this way to fix rabbit's teeth. At least not like this. There is lots of cases when cutting of teeth is not painful, but in other hand there would be few cases when there is some random exostosis (bony growth) around the teeth in the bunny's mouth. If you cut the tooth with a bony growth, it would be shocking for a bunny. If you need to fix your rabbit's teeth make an X-ray picture by a doctor. And if your rabbit's fore-teeth shut wrong, don't hesitate to get rid of them.

@skullywully666 No, usually nature takes care of things if you feed the rabbit properly and give them lots of hay and chew toys (appropriate wood blocks, etc). Please, if you're unsure take your rabbit to a vet! :(

@lucasthedogman He has to go back every month or 6 weeks depends on how bad the problem is. This is because rabbits teeth grow continuously up to 2.4mm per week. Also becareful when buying food from pet stores especially when the packs say "for rabbits and guinea pigs" as these contain grains which are high in energy for rabbits. Lots of hay is good to keep him grinding the teeth down.

@nikkinkris Hi do you know if you take a rabbit to the vet for this how often they have to be trimed or does the vet fix the peroblem permanently? my little guy is starting to get this and it is not from what he eats because i give him everything he needs and some. thanks

[nikkinkris]

Wow! This is the worst advice ever! Do not do this to your rabbits teeth it will cause the teeth to crack, your rabbit will end up with abscesses and even more problems. Take your Rabbit to a vet who knows what they are doing, don't listen to people dressed up as vets!
