Teeth grinding...

N

nickeh.88

Young Bun
I've searched on here and it indicates pain and comfort??

My Roxy is currently led on my chest. Grinding her teeth. It's not like, a constant grind. More of a nip.. If you get me?

She does it a few times a minute.

She's been eating loads of soaked greens and is poo'ing fine.

Just concerned about the nip/grinding thing.

Any advice?
 
It also possible the gene of the bun is weak, and that's part of her daily routine. 1 of my bridge bun is like that. She's just nervous from time to time and she doesn't have very strong genes
 
Hey,thats fine.Grinding in buns is like a purr in a cat-a sign of contentment.Hard grinding can mean they are in pain but if you are not sure what is hard or soft grinding then read their body language then that will give you a clue.It sounds to me your bun is grinding in bliss!:)If he was hunched in a corner then it could be a sign of pain.Laid on your stomach,got to a sign of bliss:lol:
 
It seems a consensus has been reached, but I'll toss my opinion in for good measure =p

My rabbits both grind their teeth when just laying down. I think they do it as they settle down to go to sleep, or if they are really relaxed. Their eyes are normally slightly shut, and they look like they've entered bunny meditation land.

Probably nothing to worry about, but any sign a rabbit gives you of something being possibly wrong, look for other signs to confirm. (i.e. hunched back, not eating)

But it sounds just like a happy bunny purring away! :love:
 
This thread basically was an extension of another thread. It seems that Nickeh.88's sweet Roxy has gone to the Bridge. Bless her heart. She sounded like a very brave sweet bunny.
