RE: HOW CONSUMPTION OF NIGHT FAECES HELPS A RABBIT
What an interesting piece you have got here. Let me first of all say kudos to you.
So, according to what you said, rabbits are hindgut fermenters and as such engage in coprophagy. I know of few other hindgut fermenters like horse, rhino & rodents, do they practice something similar?
Thank you
Of course, they do... but that of horse and rhino is colonic because they are larger species and they have a long large intestine but rabbit, rodent and others are small animals and they are classified as caecal because they use caecum to process their night faeces.
Thanks for the nice comment, I'm glad I could impact and I appreciate you.
