QUESTION: DO RABBITS ONLY HAVE 4 TEETH?
ANSWER: No, rabbits have more than 4 teeth. A rabbit has 28 teeth. Rabbits have open-rooted teeth that grow continuously throughout their life. The dental formula for a rabbit is I2/1 (incisors up\down), C0/0 (canines up\down), P3/2 (premolars up\down), and M3/3 (molars up\down), for a total of 28 teeth. Rabbits have four incisors in the upper jaw, with two larger incisors at the side of the lip and two rudimentary behind those (also called peg teeth). Rabbits do not have canine teeth and a long diastema or gap between the incisors and premolars. The premolars and molars, or cheek teeth, are similar in form and closely abutted together.
