One of my rabbits (Sminky) knocked his front teeth askew when he was hopping around the sofa (He misjudged and feel off the back) His teeth started overgrowing after that and at the moment we are clipping them in the hope they may rectify themselves. He has had them clipped twice so far and I know it is not a long term solution.
My vet and I have agreed to watch it for a while and if they stay misaligned his front teeth will have to be extracted. I have never had a rabbit with tooth problems so this is an area I have absolutely no experience in.
I was just wondering what the rabbit's requirements would be once the front teeth are gone. Can he still eat hay normally? I guess pellets are just chewed with his back teeth? Do I have to cut up vegetables for him? If yes, how small should the pieces be? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
