Can a rabbit teethe like a human baby?

Answer 1

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.
