My rabbit has very overgrown teeth... what do I do?

Ok, so I noticed today that my bunny has very overgrown teeth. She can still eat her normal rabbit food, but she has trouble drinking her water, and she almost can't eat leaves or anything like that. Do I cut her teeth? I don't know what to do. Please help!

    YOU DON'T CUT HER TEETH THE VET DOES! Rabbits need things like hay, straw, toys and so on to chew on to keep their teeth sanded down. Rabbit's can die from improper teeth like that from starvation and so on^-^ GO TO THE VET!

    I owned a rabbit with this problem - it's called malocclusion. You can clip the teeth down yourself but you will probably need another person to help restrain the rabbit.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTD_6miRGGs This doesn't hurt the rabbit; their teeth aren't the same as ours and continue to grow their whole lives.

    Give your rabbit something hard to chew on. They like to chew on wood.

    Take her to the doctors and ask the pros on what to do?
