Rabbits' intestines are quite small. When the food passes through it it has to roll. Just like when you roll a small snowball down a hill it gets larger. So when the food rolls down the intestine, it is circular and grows. Also the rabbits' anus is circular so the feces pass right trough it when it is still circular.

rabbits poo look like little stones/pebbles stick together to make a long stick i know this because i have two rabbits of my own

Rabbits actually do not poop stuck together, and if they do it is not normal.

If your rabbit does poop and they form a long, dark, and smelly bunch of 'Chocolate Chips', then this is called cecotropes. Usually, your rabbit will eat them (This is perfectly normal) and nothing majoir will happen, but if they dont eat them and poop them all around the cage, then you need to get your rabbit to a vet.

If your two rabbits are pooping cecotropes, then inspect the cage and find out if they are eating them or not. If they arent, then follow my advice and seek professional help. :)

It is because they are ruminants (4 chambered stomachs). They are very efficient at getting nutrients out of their food, so efficient, that everything left is the stuff too hard to break down.

Why is has your house rabbit started dropping pills on the settee?

By dropping pills, you probably mean pooping. Rabbit poop is small, round, and dry. It rather resembles Cocoa Puffs cereal. If this is what you are referring to, it is just what rabbits do. They can be litter box trained for urination, but the poop is always an issue. If you let your rabbit run free, you will probably always have to vacuum after he is put away.

Why is my bunny's poop dry?

Because he is unhealthy. That's only if its like rock hard. Rabbit poop is supposed to be hard. If it's watery, that means the rabbit has diarreah, which means you need to take him/her to the vet immediatly, because then they can die within a few days or sooner. As long as it is firm and round and brown you are good. If it becomes soft and watery or black and hard you need to go to a vet or rabbit breeder with some knowledge.

Is rabbit urine or poop toxic to breathe all night long while a sleep?

WillowArcane hereRabbit urine and feces is not toxic, and the rabbit will occassionally even eat some of its poop. These two things should never be allowed to dirty the cage for long, so you should be cleaning the cage regularly. Neither you nor your rabbit will experience "toxic" effects, though.Answer Please note that rabbits produce two kinds of "poop". They produce the dry, round version which are the end result of full digestion, and the soft, moist cecotropes, which contain helpful bacteria and nutrients and need to be re-ingested. These are usually eaten straight from the source. Finding a cluster of cecotropes (which are usually soft, moist and not completely round) indicates a diet that's too rich or high in calories and is causing your rabbit to produce excess cecotropes.
