I am looking at a chinchilla colored Netherland Dwarf doe that is approximately 6 1/2 weeks old. I contacted the selling and she informed me that the rabbit has butting teeth. Further conversation revealed her belief that the teeth would move into proper position with daily encouragement consisting of gentle pushing. She seemed almost certain of this.
After doing some research of my own into malocclusion I seem to be leaning towards the belief that butting teeth is a little more serious than she made it sound, mainly being the concern of wolf teeth and the fact that it is genetic (Although I don't plan on breeding). I would definitely like to avoid buying a rabbit that will need regular vet visits.
Although I have had rabbits in the past I'll admit I am not very knowledgeable with rabbits, so I was wondering what a few experienced rabbit owners had to say about this situation.
Thanks,
