they have fun with it to!
Having lived on a dairy for a period of time, I've never seen a cow eat its own poop (aka: cow pie). So no, I don't believe cows eat their own poop.
Pigs the dirty creatures
its okay if guinea pigs eat their own poop because they don't get enough mineral so they eat their own poop to get it so its okayYeah what she said all though its like Poop it isn't well squishy they eat so they can digest their food properly too.This type of poop contains vitamins, minerals and some proteins that were not absorbed when ingested first time. So in order to get these vitamins, minerals and proteins into their system, guinea pigs reingest this type of poop.
If there is enough undigested protein left in it, they likely mistake it for edible material. Avoid letting a dog eat this material because it could lead to dehydration.Additional thoughts:Your dog probably eats its poop because its stomach hurts. If you see him/her eating his poop, walk your dog for a while and only let him/her drink water.Another guess that your dog is eating its poop is that he/she ate something and the remains of it are still in its poop and he/she likes how it tastes.Another reason that your dog would eat it's own poop is because there is fiber in the poop from their food. These are only guesses and if your dog keeps on eating its poop, then ask a vet on your next check up.Malnutrition or a behavior in which they want to cover their traces. Poo attracts other animals to their homes as well.
All carnivores reptiles will attempt to eat there young if given a chance.

No. ...but he did quit the fire department

I think they eat dirt and grass... Maybe their own poop. Hahaha :)
Beavers eat their own poop because it saves them energy trying to find other forms of food. I also heard that the poop still has some nutrients in it, and when they take the nutrients out of their poop, it comes out as sawdust. I not completely sure about the sawdust part, but I'm just saying what I've heard.
to gain nutrients they can't receive from plants
