It's been five days since I started answering your questions. I hope I have helped you to know a little more about rabbits. I admit I am not infallible. I make mistakes. If you find I have made a mistake and have proof, please let me know!


Question 3: I just saw my rabbit eating his poop! How do I stop this?

Answer:   A rabbit has a very specialized digestive system. The "poop" pellets you see are called cecotropes. They are partially digested matter which appears hours after your rabbit eats. They are full of healthy bacteria and are essential to your rabbit's very survival. They are also rarely seen, as they usually appear once a day, and then, only at night. If you were to stop your rabbit from eating them, it would soon die.
