spurs on teeth!!

what is the best way to get these down????? she has hay daily, wooden boredon bar that you attach onto the wire mesh, and hazel twigs.

what else can i do as the vet said she has spurs on her teeth????
 
If you bunny has spurs they will need vet attention - not much you can do to get rid. However, if they aren't developed and the vet is warning about them being likely then just loads of hay/grass to make the bun use it's molars is the way to help. Boredom bars might help the front teeth but not likely to help the back ones so much. If the bunny already has spurs or stepped teeth then just normal hay eating isn't going to help much either as they can't slide the molars across each other normally which is the action the wears them down.

Spurs normally means a dental op.
