I don't know what's in the rabbit's waste that the dogs are crazy about. They love to nibble on the Rabbit's M&Ms which is gross so I decided to fenced in the bottom and put some decorations around it.
Instead of throwing out the old water sprinklers, I put some plants in it
Our poodle we had many years ago like to roll in any animal's waste. Dogs just seem to have disgusting traits in which no righteous cat would indulge. Who knows why?
great idea, but I do have a problem with rabbits in hutches....I hope he gets interaction with you out of his cage...otherwise it's a boring and lonely life for him/her
Hi Rose. Rabbits have an inefficient digestive system. During the food's first trip through the rabbit, the digestive process just manages to break down cell walls enough for the nutritious insides to be freed and this partially digested material is passed out. Wild Rabbits turn around and eat those droppings so they can recover the valuable nutrients. First time droppings are usually dark colored and the second time droppings are light colored.
Commercial rabbit food is usually more digestible, but there are still a lot of nutrients in the droppings. Since the droppings fall through the wire floor of the cage, they aren't used by the rabbits. However, they are nice treats for other animals, incuding dogs.
