My bun recently started to purr/ grind his teeth? Im not sure if it’s grinding ( i hope not) or purring. He does this in his sleep also in a standing hunched position. ( It’s normal with him) Here’s a video :
 
If he's sleeping and doing it, or doing it while being petted, then it's most likely tooth purring. With tooth grinding from pain, there will be other signs of something being wrong; like refusing to eat/drink, not pooping, unusually lethargic and not wanting to move around, staying hunched up hiding in a corner, etc. So you have to take the rabbits other body language into account, to determine if it's tooth purring from being content, or tooth grinding due to pain.
