Front teeth need braces?
Many Singaporeans keep rabbits as pets. They cost around $25.00 and can be
as much as $1,000 for the rare species. Some rabbits are as big as a small
Pekinese! Rabbit's teeth differ from human ones in that they grow
continuously over a period of time and they are worn out when the rabbit
chews on hard food.
When you buy a rabbit, do check that its upper and lower jaw meet so that
when it eats or chews, the upper and lower front teeth (incisors) meet and
wear out evenly. If one jaw is shorter than the other, the teeth
do not get worn out evenly. For example, in the rabbit below, the
lower jaw is much shorter than the upper jaw. The lower incisors
grow and grow curving into the nostrils. The rabbit does not put on
weight as it does not eat properly.
