Anyone have bunnies without molars?

Does anybody have a bun who has had some/all of their molars removed? My vet said that it was a possibility if Remus' teeth problems became any worse.

I was wondering, how have they adapted to being molarless?
What do they eat?
Were there any complications?
Was it a highly expensive proceedure? - I enquired at the vets and they were very, very guarded and only said that it was a rare proceedure :?
...and pretty much anything else you feel is important.

Thanks so much;

Hi

Princess barely has any molars left bless her. She had a dental about 3 weeks ago and the vet said that she hadn't seen a bun with such bad teeth but who was still sooo lively and maintaining weight!! She had to have another 2 removed a few weeks ago but we think the rest must have either fallen out or rotted away (I took her on at about 2 yrs old so don't know anything about diet etc when she was little). She also has to have her incisors burred every month.

Princess copes very well - she eats Excel pellets and chopped up veggies.
The last op was £130 but she also had an abcess drained too. No complications - in fact she was bouncing around the evening I brought her home like she had never had an op! She had Baytril + Metacam and recovered brilliantly. We are off to the vets tomorrow to have front teeth done so will c wot the vet says.
