It's probably a gut microbe thing that aids in processing food more efficiently, right? Koalas eat their own shit as well - I think their mothers even feed them shit, iirc. I think it's not uncommon among herbivores.
Yup. Guinea pigs also need to eat their own poop for normal digestion.
You may not like the format, that's fine, but I would like to point out it was used correctly in this meme.
No shit, they eat grass and only have one stomach. They have to eat their cecotropes to actually digest the grass
In case anyone else was wondering too.
Even though it’s a fact that rabbits can eat their own poop, that really shouldn’t be a sign that you should follow suit (even if it was for your survival). Eating rabbit droppings has no nutritional value for humans.
Thanks, I've been eating rabbit poop for years, glad to hear I can stop
One time we were babysitting my little cousin. We had a rabbit roaming in the kitchen, and cousin was eating breakfast. Next thing, I hear him saying "that's not a raisin!"
Poor kid. Hope he learned not to eat stuff off the ground.
Who am I kidding, he probably learned that raisins can't be trusted.
It doesn't say we have to stop, coward.
Well, duh. The rabbit isn't eating another animals poop, but their own. Sooo...
Now that's a blast from the pissed!
Umm, what if we were to hypothetically convince the manosphere that this is the most manly thing that can be possibly achieved
My beagles make up for it (…yuck)
This is the kind of thing a rabbit that eats its own faeces would say
Nesquik cereal looks too real ~fuck~ ~Nestle~
I look forward to never having to read about these kinds of studies again once all of the funding disappears.
I hope I don't need the /s
They are more similar to us than many anticipate
