Common conclusions

Your rabbit doesn't show any symptoms of having cheek teeth problems. Cheek teeth problems in rabbits are a common health issue and they refer to cheek teeth elongation and malocclusion (when the teeth do not align properly). To help prevent malocclusion and elongation of cheek teeth, limit the intake of pellets, soft fruits, or vegetables from the rabbit's diet. Instead, provide adequate tough fibrous foods such as hay and grasses to encourage normal wear of teeth.
