If you want to.
No, you shouldn't do it. It's unnecessary, and it would cause your rabbit stress. Because cats and dogs eat meat, their teeth grow bacteria, and that's why they need their teeth brushed. Rabbits don't have that problem because they don't eat any meat or animal products (like dairy).
They don't need their teeth brushed, but they do need their teeth ground down because rabbit teeth are constantly growing. Most rabbits can grind down their own teeth by eating lots and lots of hay. Some rabbits, because of genetic problems, need to go to the vet for dental care.

How often does a rabbit need to be brushed?
Short-haired rabbits generally don't need to be brushed or combed unless they're moulting.Long-haired rabbits should be brushed or combed as often as necessary to keep their fur clean and untangled, even every day if that's what it takes.About MoultingWild rabbits moult on a regular schedule based on the seasons, but with pet rabbits it's not always so regular. Generally speaking, your rabbit will have one or two heavy moults per year, and another one or two light moults that you may not even notice. The heavy moults you will notice, there's fur everywhere.Rabbits groom themselves all the time, which means loose fur ends up in their bellies. Unlike cats, rabbits can't throw up their hairballs: instead, the fur has to work its way through the entire digestive system, and this can lead to serious illness.So, when your rabbit is shedding, brush him/her every day. Find a brush or comb that actually works to get the fur off. Even gently pluck the loose fur with your fingers. (Don't force the rabbit to stay if he or she doesn't like it; many rabbits don't mind, if you're gentle. Be very gentle, though; rabbit skin is thin and stretchy and easy to tear.) Also vacuum more often and sweep out your rabbit's areas more often when there's a moult -- rabbits explore with their mouths, so a furry environment also leads to fur in the belly.See the related questions below for more info.
