No, it's a normal process for them.
Rodents do eat their own droppings, yes.
yes. they take nutrients from soft droppings which they take directly from their rear end. they don't eat the hard droppings.
Many species of rodent eat some of their own droppings. This behavior is called coprophagy. They use it to recycle nutrients such as B vitamins. An example of such a rodent is the guinea pig.
I think their own droppings. Not 100% sure though, but hey, at least I tried.
Yes they can. I've heard it's a sign of choline deficiancy.
no. that would be against the guinea pig law.
I would imagine so, Would you eat your own poop?
It is not likely they actually are eating their own fecal matter. Chickens scratch and peck at the ground looking for bugs and seeds. The manure around the yard attract bugs and the hens will grab the bugs off the "poo" and eat those bugs.

As wierd as it may sound, guinea pigs DO eat their own fecies. Don't try stopping them, its their instinct. It actually has so much fiber and nutrients, that its good for them.
This is an indicator that the guinea pig is not getting sufficient nutrition; improve the cavy's diet to make this behavior stop.
No, chicken is not an unhealthy food is prepared correctly. Fried chicken is not a healthy choice to eat all the time.
