Hi all, just a question about teeth...

My big bunny (3kg) can chew through anything without difficulty and would happily demolish a whole broccoli given the chance! My little bunny (1kg) often gets his teeth stuck in carrots and cucumber. When he had a health check around a month ago the vet looked at his teeth and said they were fine. I've just been cutting his veggies smaller for him as it must be frustrating trying to eat and getting stuck in your food!

Does it sound like he has dental issues or is it just because he's so tiny?!

UPDATE! I have just looked inside his mouth and one of his front bottom teeth (sorry I don't know technical terms) is longer than the other. Should I take him for a check up? He seems happy and is eating fine, hay all day etc

I've not known a rabbit to actually get their teeth 'stuck' in a carrot before and have perfectly normal teeth! I can only assume as he's a tiny bun that he has a very small mouth! Obviously the vet would know if there were any abnormalities with his incisors :)
 
Maybe coarsely grate it for him ? Sorry had to smile at him getting it stuck on his teeth, just got a picture in my head :D
