A rabbit's teeth grow continuously. In the wild, they're worn down naturally because of all the chewing rabbits do. As pets, you have to give your rabbit safe things to chew on so that her teeth wear down properly, or else they can overgrow and need care from a vet.
The best thing for a rabbit to chew on is grass hay. Grass hay is actually the best way to take care of a rabbit's:
- teeth: the fibrous texture wears down the teeth
- digestion: the high fiber content keeps the belly moving
- urinary health: rabbits that eat lots of day tend to drink lots of water
- energy levels: give your rabbit something to do -- graze!
Other things your rabbit can chew on include safe twigs and branches, cardboard boxes, grass mats, etc. You can get these things from some pet stores and some online pet stores, like BinkyBunny (see link below).
Without safe things to chew on, your rabbit will choose unsafe things to eat. You have to "bunny-proof" and give your rabbit toys, diversions, etc.
Some rabbits have ongoing dental problems, and they need their teeth clipped on a regular basis. Vets can clip your rabbit's teeth safely, but if your rabbit needs ongoing care you might ask the vet to teach you how to do it at home. Do not try to clip your rabbit's teeth unless you have the right tools and your vet showed you how to do it: otherwise, you can seriously injure your rabbit!
