On tonight's ABC gardening program they showed a rabbit cage atop a worm
farm. The rabbit hutch had a netting floor so that the droppings would
fall straight through onto the worm farm below. All fine and good, so it
would seem.

But I understood that rabbits give their droppings a second chew, and this
tidy arrangement clearly defeats that behaviour.

They would need to do this in the wild to extract the maximun nutrients
when food is scare. Pet or farmed rabbits would be on a "good thng" with
very rich tucker and have no need of it.

In any case, AFAI've observed, they do not eat it from the ground, so it
would not matter.

Did they say how many decades the person had had this sytem gong?
