Why would my rabbit grind its teeth? It has not gone off food and water but is rather listless. I'm not sure what to do. It was in a cage with 2 rabbits the same age and sex (12 wks. does). There was a trace of blood on its front leg but I didn't think does would fight. Please help!

Usually a sign of pain and distress. Have you a vet you can take it to? Perhaps there was a fight?

She's a little Netherland dwarf actually, but I can see the similarity! The ones in my signature are the ones who fought!

Are they spayed? Unspayed does can get pretty territorial.

Does will fight, unfortunately. Spaying may help to keep them bonded together, but that wouldn't be possible until about five months.
If they are in a confined area for any length of time, rabbits of the same sex will often get upset and aggressive with one another.
Do you usually keep several does in a cage together?
