You probably need to cut them so they can eatproperly. The teeth will wear odd and cause problems withtheir biting ans chewing.

I would suggest seeing a vet firstbefore you cut the rabbits teeth. When I was younger we had a rabbitwho had malaclusion and she had to be brought to the vet to have herteeth clipped like once a month. I know that there are some people whoclip their rabbits teeth themselves but I wouldnt risk it if you haventdone it before. Maybe have the vet show you how to do it that way youdont have to pay tons of vet bills? Heh just a suggestion

Someone on here posted pictures of clippingteeth. They were very good instructions. I have hadto clip teeth every so often, and it's not really that big of adeal. I used to use a cutter exactly like what was picturedby the person who sent in the pictures. However, then I gotone of those clippers used to cut the teeth on baby pigs ... not as bigand cumbersome.
