Last Updated: 2024/11/22, In the process of raising rabbits, we can see that the hard dung balls discharged by rabbits are formed by secondary digestion. Rabbits eat forage during the day, discharge soft feces at night or before dawn, and as soon as the soft feces are discharged, they immediately eat it, and through secondary digestion and absorption, the residue forms a hard dung ball out of the body. Rabbits eat their own soft feces at night, not because of the lack of certain nutrients in the body caused by dung-eating, but its normal physiological phenomenon. This instinct of rabbits has two great advantages: one is that it can keep the rabbit house and rabbit farm.
