Front teeth looking overgrown in rabbits
What this sign can mean and when to act, from House Rabbit Society and RWAF guidance. This is general information, not a diagnosis.
What you noticed is worth a vet's eyes soon. Rabbits are good at hiding when something is wrong, so it's best to have your exotic vet take a look before anything has a chance to progress. Book a routine appointment in the next day or two, and call sooner if anything gets worse.
What it can mean
Front teeth that look overgrown or misaligned can be associated with dental malocclusion (teeth that do not meet correctly), which is common in dwarf and lop breeds. Because rabbit teeth grow continuously, misaligned front teeth will keep growing unless filed or trimmed by a vet. Overgrown front teeth are also often a sign that the back teeth (molars) may have problems too, so a full dental check with your exotic vet is worth arranging.
