A rabbit's teeth grow continuously, how does a normal rabbit file them down?

  1. By chewing

  2. By scratching

  3. By rubbing against hard surfaces

  4. They don't, they need trimming

The correct answer is: By chewing

Rabbits have open-rooted teeth, which means their teeth never stop growing. To prevent their teeth from overgrowing, rabbits must constantly wear them down. Chewing on hard objects or roughage, such as hay, allows rabbits to naturally grind down their teeth. This process also helps keep their teeth healthy and clean. Options B and C may also partially wear down a rabbit's teeth, but chewing is their primary method of filing them down. Option D is incorrect because rabbits do not need to have their teeth trimmed, as long as they have proper access to tough foods to chew on.
