First, the harm of long rabbit teeth
In general, rabbit teeth keep Before 0.5~0.7cm is appropriate, if it is a smaller rabbit, the teeth should be slightly shorter. This is conducive to the rabbit’s nibbling and is beneficial to the rabbit’s oral health. If the rabbit’s teeth are too long and not treated in time, the too long teeth can easily pierce the rabbit’s upper and lower jaws, and even lead to the death of the rabbit. To this end, the owner must pay attention to helping the rabbit grind its teeth.
Second, how to help rabbits grind their teeth
The incisors of rabbits are permanent teeth and will keep growing . If the rabbit’s teeth are not grinded enough, the teeth will be too long, which will cause the rabbit to refuse to eat, have a bad bite, and easily cause the rabbit’s mouth to be injured and inflamed, as well as some eye diseases and facial infections of the rabbit. The owner raises the rabbit daily, and can feed the rabbit a large amount of roughage to achieve the purpose of helping the rabbit to grind its teeth. Among them, the most common roughages that help rabbits grind their teeth are Timothy hay, alfalfa hay, etc. Feeding this roughage to rabbits can not only help rabbits gastrointestinal motility, but also effectively grind their teeth. After that, it can be supplemented with an appropriate amount of concentrated feed to feed the rabbits. Alternatively, the owner can also use a rabbit-friendly molar stone or molar stick to help the rabbit grind its teeth.
In addition, it is best for the owner to regularly check the rabbit’s teeth when raising rabbits.
Three, what to do if the rabbit’s teeth are too long
The rabbit’s teeth If it is too long, it is recommended to take the rabbit to the veterinary hospital for a professional veterinarian to trim the rabbit’s teeth and remove the teeth that are too long. Because if the rabbit’s teeth are too long, the effect of molaring is very weak, and the rabbit must be artificially broken.
We conclude that the long teeth of rabbits seriously endanger the health of rabbits. It is necessary for the owner to feed the rabbits with sufficient roughage. And the owner is best to check the rabbit’s teeth regularly. If it is found that the length of the rabbit’s teeth is beyond a reasonable range, the excessively long teeth should be trimmed in time to prevent the rabbit from becoming seriously ill due to the excessively long teeth.
