OK, so I read in this book that rabbits often eat their own feces, much like dogs do. Apparently, the first time the feces passes through their body all the nutrients are not extracted. So the rabbit or dog will munch on the feces so that the nutrients can be re-extracted.

So I'm wondering, should I make a collection of feces, much like I would collect stamps or baseball cards, neatly place each ball of feces into a bowl or other container, and give the feces to the rabbit as a mid-day snackaroo?

Also, logically speaking, since the rabbit's feces still apparently contains nutrients unlike human feces, would humans also benefit from consumption of rabbit feces? I'm thinking about trying some rabbit feces for my 3 o'clock afternoon snack. Would it be safer to microwave the feces, then eat? Or eat raw?

Just to be sure, this is no joke. I'm asking a serious question here so please, only serious answers.

Hello there. I used kitty litter (arm & hammer) for my bunnys box, it is quite absorbent and no smell. But i read that kitty litter is no good,especially if they eat it. Well i also have tried cell-sorb, yesterdays news and the carefresh (walmart brand tho). Well they are not absorbent at all. When i went to clean out the box, there was a puddle of pee. So, i dont want to use those. Plus they dont smell good at all.I cannot find wood stove pellets around here. If you anyone has any better suggestions, please let me know. I saw some kind of citrus bedding at petsmart, not sure about that. Any help is appreciated

I continually poured cold water on my pet rabbit while it was in a cage. After repeating several times, it thrashed about, jumped high, and screeched in a high pitched tone I've never heard before. Subsequently it ran into a little house inside the cage where it refused to come out. It was shivering and trembling. My question is: can this type of stress kill the rabbit? Is it really true that fright alone can kill a rabbit? Many will wonder why I did this in the first place. The reason is that I want to make this rabbit develop into a super-rabbit that can tolerate many kinds of stressful situations better than ordinary pet rabbits. You know, like Navy SEALs--their training involves being drenched with water repeatedly and all that other stressful stuff. It toughens them up!

OK, but seriously, I know people are going to be like "Oh you are so cruel" and whatever but I seriously want a direct answer. I mean, has anyone actually tried to make a rabbit tougher?

I have two male guinea pigs, but I cant figure out how to keep them occupied. They seem to be bored all the time, and I cant let them outside to graze becase it's too cold. What should I do to their cage or what should I give them to give them something to do?

I may be moving in the next month or so to take a new job. I have only found two apartments that will allow pets (I have two cats, and will not leave them or give them away). One is out of my price range, and one is a complete hole - I think my car has more room. There are lots of places for rent in this town, but everyone says "no" to pets. Has anyone had any luck in convincing a landlord to accept pets? And if so, how? Any advice appreciated.

and i know it's the "i'm hungry" sound, but they couldn't POSSIBLY be hungry every time i walk into my room, but yet the squeal anyways! every single night, i fill their dish up with pellets, fill their hay bin with hay, give them a handful of romaine lettuce, and a plate with 1/4 a banana, 1/2 an apple, and a full sized carrot. and i refill their water bottle and put the calcium drops in their water. so they are getting enough to eat, right? am i like starving them or something? i have 2 of them. both girls. and they are both not fat, but not skinny. and they are 7 months old.
so why do they squeal whenever i walk into my room??

I went into a flat today with my b/f... (he decorates flats and houses when tentants move out). Anyway this flat was completely infested with Fleas (and not the red hot chilli pepper type). We left very quickly once we realised our feet were covered, and I hasten to add I was wearing flip flops!

This brings me to an age old question... Apart from making us itch, what exactly is the point of fleas???? Please help
