Can Rabbits Eat Continental Parsley Why Do Rabbits Eat Their Poop In The Morning?

Why do rabbits eat their poop in the morning? - can rabbits eat continental parsley

I saw my grandchidren rabbits and observed most of them eat their shit first thing in the morning ... Is this the normal behavior of rabbits? And if so, what is the reason why they eat their feces?

Rabbits spend 2 types of feces: hard droppings and pellets night rhythm. Since the rabbits fed large amounts of cellulose, which included eating is difficult to digest them it.So like cows and buffaloes CUD her black rabbit pellets to digest their food

Hello.

Yes, it is perfectly normal. Most people call it "night droppings." Poops are soft, they are good food for the rabbits. They actually nutrients in them!

I hope I helped:)

Yes, it's normal, so that if a rabbit eats it takes up only a portion of the nutrients from food, but not really, so I have to eat at night and shit back in the morning, I know that sounds crazy, but TRUE

They are called cecotropes. These are the nutrients rabbits need for the functions of digestion. In general, occur in the early morning and late evening. And yes, the rabbits will eat.

Yes, it is normal rabbits generally eat their shit and eat their prey in the night though. they eat twice for nutrients, especially with a healthy diet of hay and pellets of meat and make it not very healthy to do it: D

It is perfectly normal. Bunnies results that do not digest what you get all their nutrients from food, then again for the rest of their pellets from them.
