If you trim your rabbit's teeth once do you have to continuously do it?

Yes, if you trim them because they are growing crooked then they will need to be trimmed every couple of weeks. Rabbits are mono-phidonts. This means that their teeth continually grow. If they are straight they meet and keep themselves worn down so there is no need to trim but if they are crooked they will not meet properly and will grow and grow until they are trimmed. If not trimmed they CAN grow thru the roof of the rabbits mouth and into the brain killing it. Rabbits with genetically crooked teeth (buck teeth) should not be bred as they will pass the trait on to the babies.
