hi im really worried about gumpy i managed to give his teeth a proper look at yesterday for the first time in weeks anyway, i think his top teeth are a bit too long as they do come slightly over the bottom ones, the thing is he doesnt seem to have any problems as he is eating fine and is being his usual self and he has lots of things to chew on in his hutch, some wood, lots of hay, pellets, toys, paper for him to shred, cardboard boxes, some rabbit toys, a pineapple chew which i dont think he likes, and some chew blocks however he only chews on paper stuff and when he's out all he does is chew on things ive posted before and came to the conclusion he just liked destroying the house :lol: he's also started biting me a lot lately and not the friendly nip either :evil: but i think this is just because he doesnt like being handled in the heat should i worry or is he fine just want to sort it out in case it gets any worse and starts hurting him
 
It's not unusual for the top teeth to overlap slightly as the bottom teeth have to sit in the gap between the uppers and the peg teeth.

If that is the case and they are not crooked or spleyed then you dont need to worry, for the time being anyway.
