Does rabbits' front teeth grow constantly?

They never stop growing. EVER!!! Rabbits are monophydants so their teeth grow for their entire life. However I do not think this is the question. Rabbits teeth will grow so long that they will not be able to eat if they are mis-aligned (rabbits wear their teeth down as they eat) if they are mis-aligned they CAN even grow so long that they will grow thru the roof of the rabbit's mouth and into their brain and kill them. It is not a pretty sight which is why you should keep rabbits with poorly aligned teeth clipped. This rabbit should also be culled from the herd as you will have to clip every couple of days and this is a hereditary trait (85% of the time) and not an injury (15% of the time.) more than likely.

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.
