There seems to be a lot of misconception about rabbits 'eating their
own poop'. They don't just eat any old poop.
Coprophagy, as the practice is known, involves only one type of feces.
It's one consumed mainly at night, therefore, 'night feces'. Compared
with the hard, dry pellets of 'day feces', these night feces are soft
and are contained in a mucous membrane. The rabbit normally ingests
these 'night feces' directly from the anus.
It's all part of the rabbit's method of B vitamin synthesis.

Some people were ready to eat dinner. You know?



well, this all raises the question, for folks who believe the Lord
created each animal just exactly as He wanted them to be and that's
the way they exist to this day, what the heck did He have against the
poor bunnies?


I don't know, but "eat shit and die" comes to mind.
