Rabbits have a total of 28 teeth. This includes:
- 4 incisors on the top (two large front incisors and two smaller "peg teeth" behind them)
- 2 incisors on the bottom
- 6 premolars on the top and 4 premolars on the bottom
- 6 molars on the top and 6 molars on the bottom
The dental formula for rabbits is I2/1, C0/0, P3/2, M3/3, which sums to 28 teeth overall
. Their teeth are specialized for their herbivorous diet, with continuously growing incisors and cheek teeth (premolars and molars) adapted for cutting and grinding fibrous plant material
. The peg teeth are small additional incisors located behind the main upper incisors
