What are buck teeth in rabbits?

Buck teeth in rabbits refer to a condition related to their incisors. In this context, the term describes a type of malocclusion, which is when the incisors do not meet evenly. Instead, one or both sets of incisors may overgrow or misalign, which can lead to various health issues for the rabbit. This condition affects their ability to eat properly and manage their dental health, ultimately impacting their overall well-being.

Rabbits have continuously growing teeth, and their dental health is crucial. If their teeth do not align correctly, they may not wear down naturally, leading to overgrowth and potential problems like difficulty in eating or painful injuries to their mouths. Understanding this helps owners maintain their rabbits' health through regular veterinary check-ups and proper care practices.
