Hello everyone:wave:
It has been a while since I last came on this website, but I hope you are all very well!!
I came across a local pet shop the other day, so I thought I would have a quick look inside. Sadly at the back of the pet shop they kept a few breeding rabbits, which some had young babies which they would sell when the babies were old enough. I noticed that one of the breeding rabbits sadly had over grown front and bottom teeth. The rabbit looked like he was having problems getting water from the bottle. I spoke with a young girl who worked there and I informed her about the over grown teeth, her reply was, "Oh are they? Well he can eat okay" I informed her it wasn't the point the rabbit could eat okay, so i gave her some information and education on Rabbits teeth and how to keep them down, she said she would inform the Pet keeper.
I felt pretty upset, so I contacted the RSPCA to report it. They contacted me this morning to say they had attended the rabbit and the owner had cut the teeth down. I was under the impression the rabbit would have to go to the vet for this? Also, can teeth just be cut down?
Thanks
