Ew! Ick!

*Looks around nervously, suspecting an in-joke type trap of some sort*

Er...hello!

I seem to remember some explanation of this in 'Watership Down'. It's not actually poo, you see, it's pellets of a kind of semi-poo, half-digested stuff which needs another trip through the bunny. Rather like a cow chewing the cud, where the semi-digested cud needs to go through the stomach more than once - but a bunny, having a much shorter gastro-intestinal tract than a cow, needs to put the mulch right the way through twice.

I'd still think twice about kissing the bunny though. Or a cow, if you have one.

I'd read before how bunnies do that, something to do with stuff that isn't digested properly first time round right enough, but to actually watch her poop and then eat it...yuk!

You should take it as a compliment - you're obviously feeding her so well that she can't bear not to eat it at least twice

They can't digest vitamin K so have to eat it twice.
They eat it normally as soon as it is passed so you don't often see them do it.

The black poo is poo and the other coloured stuff is edible - to that is. Unless you are really hungry!

For some reason she was pooing green all over the place today. I was off sick so was on the couch with the duvet and she jumps up for attention (she's such a sook). She then proceeds to poop everywhere, and eat it, but only on my duvet. Really strange!

yuk.... way too much info....

The first journal entry i wander into of yours and it's about rabbits eating crap

I think you got off quite lightly there, Footy.

<s to change friends list>

Ah dear Footy, you ain't seen nothing yet!

It didn't help that i was eating a toasted teacake from my brekkie, when i logged in to hootoo

Me and Daisy (the rabbit) had a Ginger Nut cos I'm too lazy to go and get bread

A ginger nut each, or one between you?

One each, although she got hers and tried to eat mine, the little sod. She's still pooping on my duvet too, my nice CLEAN duvet

I knew there was a reason I thoughts rabbits were best either hopping in fields or roasting in the oven.

Hmmm, you might have a good point there - but she's so cute though! I couldn't let her go or eat her! Argh, dilemma!

Could you fit a bunny sized cork?

why is the bunny in the house hun.... i thought they lived outdoors in hutches... lol..
