Overview

Teeth of a Rabbit - Copyright Nottingham 2008

The formula for permanent teeth is: 2 (I2/1 C0/0 P3/2 M2-3/3).

There is a small pair of incisors called "peg teeth" directly caudal to the primary maxillary incisors. Some rabbit herds may be missing these peg teeth, as a dominant trait.[1]

Rabbit teeth are hypsodont, meaning they continue to grow throughout life.[1]
