much twitching not all those funny little nose and jaw movements are connected with breathing the bun ny is often engaged in the natural processes of grinding down his teeth to keep them at the proper length it has been found that an average rabbit will wear away the lower in cissors at the rate of 150 millimeters per year and the upper incissors 100 millimeters per year then are vari ations too in
