Grinding Teeth

[Mindy10]

So I have noticed Blossom sounds like she is grinding her teeth. Its usually when Im patting her. I know they say they can make a puring noise when they are happy but this is more like a loud grinding. It sounds like my daughter at night when she grinds her teeth in her sleep.gives me the chills!! I just snuck in there and she is laying down and i dont hear the gridning. She is still eating her pellets and hay and pooping and peeing. But to me it seems like she is not peeing as much. I remember the box being filled and now i only clean it every other day instead of everyday. She is still drinking too. Not doing as much binkys but she never really did many binkys. only new thing is I have been giving her romane lettus once a day. Should i be worried.?

My Bertie grinds his teeth when I stroke him so I'm guessing its related to them being content? If I stroke him for extra long he grinds his teeth then does a huge DBF! I would just say keep an eye and if you notice anything different like NOT pooping or Eating etc.

its kinda like my bunny. he grinds his teeth all the time loudly. i think its just a normal thing my rabbit does now.

There are 2 kinds of tooth grinding, one is like purring and it when the are happy or content and the other is a harder and louder grinding that can indicate pain.
You can somewhat tell by what else they are doing and what you are doing. If they are sitting hunched up and you touch a spot (like the belly) and they grind heavily, then it would be a pain grind. If you are just petting her and she looks happy and it is a light grinding that kinda of sounds like purring, then it would be a happy grind.

:yeahthat: Fairly easy to tell. When I rub Serena or Lille under their jaw I can feel the grinding--they are happy rabbits.
