To 'chew the cud' is a term used for 'ruminant' animals who swallow food, digest it for a bit in one of their stomachs, then regurgitate it back into the mouth to chew further. Their diet is mainly cellulose, and it is not easy to digest. By doing this, they can extract more nutrients from it.
Rabbits are not ruminants, they have only one stomach, and there is no regurgitation. Rather, they give their digestive systems a second chance to digest a meal in a different way, by producing a soft excrement, which is eaten immediatly. This special excrement contains partially digested food, rather than waste products.
