Why do rabbits eat their own soft feces?
During the raising of domestic rabbits, we see that the hard fecal pellets they excrete are formed through a second round of digestion. Domestic rabbits eat grass and feed during the day, and at night or before dawn they excrete soft feces, and as soon as the soft feces are excreted, they immediately eat them; only through the second round of digestion and absorption do the residues form hard fecal pellets that are excreted from the body. When domestic rabbits eat the soft feces they have excreted at night, it is not a coprophagia habit caused by a lack of some nutrient in their body, but rather a normal physiological phenomenon. This instinct of domestic rabbits has two major benefits: first, it can keep the rabbit hutches and rabbit farms

What are the methods for killing foxes and removing their pelts?

Fox farms in various places have worked out several practical methods for killing foxes, mainly the drug method, the heart air injection method and the electric shock method. Whichever method is used, the principles are that the operation must be simple and practical, the killing must be quick, the pelt must not be damaged, and the fur must not be soiled. 1.
