Yes, you must let your rabbits eat their own feces because it's an important part of their digestive system. Rabbits need to eat their feces in order to get all the nutrients they need out of their food. If a rabbit is prevented from eating it's feces, it will become ill. (Actually, to be technical, rabbits don't eat their feces at all: they eat their cecotropes, although it looks like they're eating their feces.) See the related questions below for more details.

Does msg prevent dogs from eating feces?

Do not use MSG! It can harm the dog. Use meat tenderizer sprinkled on the feces. But use meat tenderizer that doesn't have MSG! You might have to read between the lines as MSG is called by other names. Find one that is based on enzymes, such as papaya or pineapple. You can also retrain your dog. Take them out on a leash and don't let them eat feces. Distract them with a treat away from it and get it picked up immediately. After time the dog will look to you for the treat and ignore the feces. But still you will need to clean it up ASAP which is always a good practice.

Abesolutely not. Rabbits are herbivores and therefor should only eat vegetables. Cat food has a high meat content and is not safe for rabbits to eat. ++++ It must not be put out for hedgehogs either, as if it contains fish, it will poison them.
