Overview
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]
