Does she have things for the rabbit to chew onin the pen? They don't normally grow so fast... hmm.... I know thatexperienced breeders can trim the teeth on their own; but I don't thinkpulling is really a good idea.... I'm not sure how to help you out here.

I'm guessing this may be an older rabbit?Sometimes with the older guys, their teeth become slightly missalignedand don't wear off the way they should. Is this lady paying someone totrim the teeth? She can easily do it herself if she is willing. Using asmall pair of wire cutters or the toe nail clippers that look likepliers, she can snip off the excess of those teeth that are causing theproblem.

Please note, I do not promote teeth clipping in breeding or show rabbits, but in a pet case like this, I see no harm in it.
