I don't think they stop growing per se, just that the act of gnawing helps wear down the teeth (i.e. shorten the teeth). They keep growing forever, though.

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.
