In my experience rats will not eat their own poop. They do however tend to pick it up with their mouth and move it to different locations. Kind of a cleaning ritual. If its in their way they will move it.
Yes, rats can poop. Every living thing that is not a plant can poop. Was this a totally random question? That's funny. I just typed in poop because I was bored. If this is your part of your homework, or other important thing, hope it helped :)
Yes rats DO poop!!!!!!!!
Their butt, like most animals
They don't. Their droppings are everywhere they go.
Bad diet.
rats, garbage, poop
Odors that repel rats can be fresh or dried mint leaves, oils of mints (like peppermint), camphor and pitch pine. Ferret poop. Really. Try the local pet store. Put the poop somewhere you know the rat likes to hang out or travel along. Will work every time.
Almost all foods contain rat poop and they dont contain much. The farmers or producers have no way of changing that because rats are everywhere! It is harmless so dont worry!

The same reson as humans. To get rid of bacteria in the rectum. If you aren't sure what this is, ask your local sceince teacher or parents.
