First answer: you don't have to clean their teeth for them, because they sort of do it themselves, with celery or cabbage. Give them these, and you rabbit will be a happy little bunny!

More information:

Actually, celery and cabbage are not very healthy for rabbits. They may be okay as treats, but not a regular part of the diet. See the related question below for information about a healthy rabbit diet.

Rabbits don't need their teeth cleaned, but they do need their teeth ground down because they're constantly growing. Most rabbits can grind their own teeth down by eating lots and lots of hay. Some rabbits, for genetic reasons, need to go to the vets for dental care. If a rabbit's teeth grow too long, it will stop them from eating, which quickly leads to GI stasis and a painful death.
