If your rabbit has diarrhea or mushy or runny feces, this means your rabbit is sick and requires veterinary care. If your rabbit is a baby, diarrhea is an emergency situation and your bunny requires immediate medical care. If your rabbit is an adult, mushy or runny feces is a serious problem and your bunny should be seen by a vet as soon as possible. Please see the related questions below for details and helpful links.
Are you meaning soft feces??? Every rabbit has a soft night time feces. Most eat it before you ever see it. It aides in their digestion of foods.
It would be known to be diarrhea.
Cecotropy is the process by which rabbits will reingest part of their feces by eating them directly from the rectum. Rabbits only ingest the soft "night" feces or cecotrophs. Hence the word Cecotropy.
No rabbits eat their feces, although all rabbits eat cecotropes. Rabbits have two kinds of droppings: feces, and cecotropes. Baby rabbits that aren't weaned yet eat their mother's cecotropes; once they're weaned, they eat their own cecotropes.
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.
soft.
Feces tends to appear twisted or curvy due to the shape of the intestines, the shape of the rectum, and the shape of the toilet. Despite drawings, fecal matter does not come out in a cone-shaped coil. Feces is rather soft when it first comes out, so if it is lengthy and hits the toilet, it will change shape.
Yes, rabbits do indeed eat their own feces. Rabbits are vegans, and like most vegan animals, their digestive tract is not long enough to fully extract the nutrients from what they eat. So they will eat it again. Deer tend to like to eat rabbit feces too, so if you find a pile of rabbit feces, there may be deer nearby.
YES ! I have a fistula and feces comes from my pecker whenever I have diarrhea
There are no vitamins or nutrients in rabbit feces, but there are many nutrients in their cecotropes, and when rabbits eat their cecotropes, it does look like they're eating their feces. See the related question below for more details.
In a way, they can. When they don't poop for 24 hours they...it's fatal.
Stop eating feces, please. :/
