How are rabbits' teeth different to humans?
Rabbits, have two upper and two lower incisor teeth and two smaller pulp teeth behind the upper incisors. Rabbits have a total of six teeth rather than four, as is characteristic of rodents.
Reply:Since Rabbits teeth keep growing they need to constantly eat,whereby the incisors are kept in check by grinding them together. In case the rabbit has maloccluded incisors they grow so long that they start tearing into the opposite flesh and if left untreated the rabbit will eventually die. In nature though the incisors are always aligned but you can still see one or two every 100 have this problem. They love a particular species of grass and they also eat other vegetables like cabbages, carrots etc but the grass is its staple diet.
Reply:I'm not sure the exact name of the teeth, but rabbits have I believe 8 teeth. The regular rodent teeth, but on each side of the teeth there are smaller, more pointed teeth. They are not even rodents! Anyone who tells you a rabbit is a rodent is a fool. Because of the extra 4 teeth, they are classified as lagomorphs. You can do more reading about it on the internet.
