Do guinea pigs eat each others poop?

Answer 1

If a female gerbil mates with its father or brother and has newborns, the newborns are usually weak from the inbreeding. The mother will sense this weakness and eat the babies.

A gerbil will also sacrifice its young if it senses that there may not be enough food for everyone; this is a survival instinct to ensure that at least some of the young survive.

yes gerbils can eat other gerbils

Answer 2

Gerbils eat their own poop-both solid fecals and soft, moist fecals, which they consume directly from their bottoms. Although it seems strange to us, this is natural behavior, and it's good for your pet because the poo is packed with necessary vitamins and amino acids. Look up Coprophagia on the wiki.

Answer 6

The gerbil eats its own fecal pellets. It derives important vitamin B. Leave it alone. (Poop)

Answer 7

Yes, guinea pigs cant digest all their vitamin c. So they will occasionally eat their poop or each other's poop to get all the vitamin c they need.
