Introduction Common incidental finding during routine clinical examination. Rabbit incisors grow 1.5-2 mm per week and depend on many hours per day of constant attrition on tough fibrous vegetation to maintain their normal working length; when fed on concentrates, attrition is minimal because the food is too soft and the calorific value so high that they only need to chew for a short time to satisfy their calorific needs (not their nutritional needs). Calcium and vitamin D deficiency resulting in osteomalacia with insufficient bony strength to support the teeth.
