Question
Will a rabbits whiskers grow back after being chewed off?  Thank you.

Answer
This is something I haven't actually ever faced, I do know however that hair will grow back on a rabbit if chewed off, and that whiskers on a cat will grow back if chewed, cut, or somehow removed. So I would assume that since we are all basiclly the same that the rabbits whiskers would grow back.  The only thing I could think of was if the whisker was removed at the follicle and damaged the follicle in some way to prevent it from growing back.

I hope I helped
Good Luck
