Why Do Rabbits Eat Their Own Soft Droppings?
During the raising of domestic rabbits, we can see that the hard fecal pellets they pass are formed through a second round of digestion. Domestic rabbits eat grass and feed during the day, and at night or before dawn they pass soft droppings, and as soon as the soft droppings are passed, the rabbit immediately eats them.

Five observation points when feeding rabbits
One, look at the rabbit's size. Generally, an adult rabbit weighing about 3.5 kg needs 150-200 g of feed per day; a young rabbit weighing about 1.75 kg needs 100-150 g of feed per day. The ideal moisture level of the feed is when it lightly holds together when squeezed and falls apart when the hand is released. Two, look at whether the rabbit is fat or thin. For fat rabbits, appropriately reduce the amount of concentrated feed and increase green fodder or roughage; for thin rabbits, supplement nutrition and feed more concentrated feed. You can also feed some soaked soybeans, or mash bean dregs, mix them with boiling water, and stir them into the feed for the rabbits. Three, look at whether the feces are dry or wet. If the rabbit's
