How many teeth does a little rabbit have?

Baby rabbits usually have 28 deciduous teeth and 42 permanent teeth, for a total of 70 teeth. The front 4 are the central incisors (2 each upper and lower), followed by the canines (2 upper and lower each), then the premolars (6 upper and lower each), and finally the rear molars (10 upper and lower teeth). These teeth are located in the upper and lower jaws of rabbits, and their special structure allows rabbits to chew cellulose-rich foods such as grass and plants. Rabbits' teeth continue to grow, so providing them with appropriate food and chew toys can help keep their teeth healthy and properly worn.
