EVERY rabbit grinds their teeth so that it doesn't eventually involve into maloclusion.( which is a disease that means that the bottom incissors overlap the top incissors) Wild rabbits grind their teeth and so do pet rabbits... even if you don't see them do it. If a rabbit has maloclusion, then you can take it to the vet to get its teeth clipped ( totally harmless)

They nibble stuff like twigs and bark. Feeding pet rabbits dry pellets also helps.
