Neal 1,873 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I think quite a few different herbivores (including rabbits) eat their own poo in order to get "another bite of the cherry" so maybe there's some truth in what you've heard. My bitch pup will occasionally eat dog poo but she seems quite selective about which ones. She'd eat anything when I first got her but now only has a rare momentarily lapse. I was speaking to her breeder about it last week and she said she thinks it might be because pups see their dams clearing it up to keep the nest clean (if we don't get in there to clean it up first of course). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
