She has malloclusion.....teefs burred every 4 or 5 weeks.
Also chronic snuffles and spinal probs but wouldnt say thats anything to do with teeth.
Its just funny now Im supplying more of these that her teeth have broke.
The other bunnies are fine......
Ian seems to think that its possible we are coming to the final stages in her dental problems, or its the crunchies!!!
Often look at her teeth to check for growth and thats when I notice a tooth is broken.

Ah I see. To be honest I don't check their teeth that often. Not Nutmeg anyway, I like my fingers:lol:
Lily shows me hers.......!

So does Nutmeg but I'm not sure in the same way :lol::lol::lol:

Lils stands up in my hands, and is cross, so her teefs are like
I take a quick look and also watch her eat.If her teeth are long, she will put her head in the air...
I have her done regular though, so she doesnt get too far.
I have had a thought that her teeth are brittle and break easily due to the vibration of the burring tool?? I hint heavily to Ian about it being that, but he never says anything.
There are stages of dental disease, so he says.But have you ever bitten on a fenugreek crunchie???

There were a few threads/posts about this just after i joined i think, as the vibrations cause damage to the tooth roots or something along those lines.
Will try and search, but the RU search feature is about as helpful as Michael Schumacher driving a MG Midget
(little comment there, just for you Schuey )

Ian uses a mechanical thing...it goes round and round.....really fast.A drevill like thing is it?? I dunno....

There potentially could be a link between the spine issues and the teeth issue given they are both bone. Maybe she has more brittle bones than the average rabbit?
Just to throw something else out there
Well touch wood weve not had a broken bone yet...like as in oesteoperosis but there is that to consider.
Dear wee girl.And her brother......
Yeh I thought that, but did wonder if they can be brittler than normal, but not noticeably so inside the body, but because the teeth are outside the body they don't have anything to protect them.
Random wonderment and probably wrong but just a thought

Most of my dental buns can't eat Fenugreek Crunchies. They'll give 'em a good suck, but eventually spit them out because they can't chew them.
I'd say that the teeth and bone issues are linked....possibly caused by inadequate diet in early life. You find lots of selective feeders who are given a mix get calcium deficiency issues. Although I also suspect that rabbits vary in their ability to metabolise calcium :?
