Hi!
I know I have not been here for a while and many might not know that I have a bunny now. I have been wanting to introduce it but the health issue concerns me more right now.
My husband bought be a Holland Lop after our move into a new apartment ( I did all the painting and renovation so the bunny is the reward )
She is a cutie and has brought us much joy. I am always overly careful when it comes to a pets health and watch the way she eats as well as check her for any signs of illness regular.
She is eating okay but bigger pieces, like a carrot seem to give her some trouble. She takes out small chunks only. So I took a look at her teeth, which are nice and straight but the top teeth look a tad too long and the bottom too short (est. 8mm top, 4mm bottom) :?
I googled this picture to have a comparison..they are not like that. -

(maybe I can get a picture of her teeth too..)
I remember her also making gnarling sounds sometimes, as if she was rubbing her teeth against each other. So I think it is best ifI take her to the vet on Monday, hubby is very concerned about the costs. In Germany teeth clipping is about 30$, surgery 80$, maybe someone could give me an estimate of how much to expect?
I am thinking she might have a birth defect since it appeared this early..so that would also mean regular trims.
Well I was hoping that maybe someone could tell me a little about teeth problems and what are the best ways to take care of them.
And I promise once she is better I will introduce my new bunny with pictures and all
