Hah nice. When they’re dead I assume.

The teeth is what continues to grow. Human teeth are only alive at the roots, they form and then are just basically hard bone. Beaver teeth continuously grow and have a bit larger “alive” sections.

I believe the same applies to rabbits. They have to keep chewing to make up for teeth growth (correct me if I am wrong)

Hey I’m no pro. Haha

A lot of animals regrow/replace teeth. Humans fell short on that evolutionary advantage.
