Rabbit poop can be divided into two types: hard spherical poop and soft mushy poop. Both poop shapes, colors, and smells have different meanings.
Hard spherical poop is the regular poop of rabbits. It is usually dry, round or oval, about 5-10mm in diameter, and dark brown or black in color. After the hard spherical stool passes through the rabbit's gastrointestinal tract, most of the nutrients in it have been absorbed. Therefore, cellulose and other undigested materials make up most of the bulk in the hard spherical stool. Rabbits will often re-eat the hard spherical poop to obtain nutrients from these undigested materials.
On the other hand, soft mushy poop is also called cecal poop, which is produced by special bacteria in the rabbit's cecum after decomposing food. of. Soft mushy stool is usually softer, slimier, and lighter in color than hard spherical stool, with a light brown or yellow color. Soft poop is rich in vitamins and nutrients that are essential to your rabbit's health. Rabbits will often eat the soft mushy poop directly to reuse these nutrients.
In summary, both hard spherical poop and soft mushy poop serve an important purpose and play an integral role in the health of your rabbit. If you notice any abnormalities in your rabbit's feces, consult your veterinarian for help.
