Does rabbits' front teeth grow constantly?

They never stop growing. EVER!!! Rabbits are monophydants so their teeth grow for their entire life. However I do not think this is the question. Rabbits teeth will grow so long that they will not be able to eat if they are mis-aligned (rabbits wear their teeth down as they eat) if they are mis-aligned they CAN even grow so long that they will grow thru the roof of the rabbit's mouth and into their brain and kill them. It is not a pretty sight which is why you should keep rabbits with poorly aligned teeth clipped. This rabbit should also be culled from the herd as you will have to clip every couple of days and this is a hereditary trait (85% of the time) and not an injury (15% of the time.) more than likely.

Do rabbits teeth need to be cleaned?

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.
