Hello
I believe Peter has dental spurs and I have him booked in for a dental tomorrow morning! He is only 19months old!
I am really upset if this is the case as I thought he had such a good diet! In hindsight I am beginning to think he had too many veg in his diet- can veg contribute to teeth issues in the same way too many pellets do? He is a french lop so I always fed him extra veg and about an egg cup of pellets a day. He also gets a small handful of flaked peas every other day to keep weight on him as he looks underweight otherwise.
Also I never see any caecotrophs lying about but I do notice him eating them a couple of times a day- is that normal?
And finally, if I have caught this quickly enough is it likely if he gets these filed down now that he won't require regular dentals? How common are molar spurs with rabbits??
Grateful for all advice!
