This is a very difficult problem in rabbits, if they become overgrown and uneven due to malocclusion only regular anaesthetics and dental work, along with very careful diet, will keep him in good health. I'm assuming you're talking about the molar teeth. If it's only the incisors which are maloccluded, they can be removed as a one-off procedure, which is not ideal, but a better prognosis. There is a spectrum of severity with rabbit teeth so your vet could advise you of the prognosis for Ricky.
