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.

∙ 14y agoeven though rabbits aren't rodents, there teeth do grow. always give them something to chew on or they will develop malocclusions in their teeth. I use a normal pine cone for my rabbits.

Can a rabbit teethe like a human baby?
Baby rabbits do teethe in the sense that when they are infants there is a time when their teeth are growing in; however, there's no evidence that baby rabbits suffer very much from this and no one recommends doing anything about it in terms of pain control, as we often do for human babies. If baby rabbits do suffer at all from teething pains, you can trust the mother rabbit to soothe them. By the time they are weaned, baby rabbits have all their teeth (although the molars can be difficult to see; the four front teeth, however, will be obvious.) rabbits in total get 28 teeth that are constantly growing (and this is one reason why rabbits need so much fibre in their diet, mostly in the form of tons and tons of hay). when you check your rabbits teeth (which you should regularly, otherwise that is animal cruelty because they could over grow) when they are infants you might see little marks in the gum these are teeth coming through. When the rabbits are a little older, make sure the front teeth grow in aligned: if they're misaligned, speak with a vet because serious problems can result.
How long can rats teeth grow?

How do rabbits teeth change as they grow?
Rabbits have long teeth to enable them to nip off vegetation. Vegetation can be protected by thorns or sharp needles, and the rabbits' long teeth enable them to get past these protective measures. Some plants even produce chemicals that can damage the teeth of herbivores, but because the rabbits' teeth continue to grow throughout their life, and are constantly being worn down by them chewing on wood and other hard items, this is not a problem. After nipping the vegetation they want, rabbits then use their shorter molars to grind and crush the food before swallowing.

Why rodents do not have canine teeth?
The pair of front teeth on the upper jaw and the pair on the lower jaw of rodents grow constantly. This is an adaptation that allows them to gnaw on wood without wearing down their teeth. This is unusual, because most mammals do not have teeth that can grow or repair after they finish their initial development.
