did you know???
( WARNING! This post is about poo.)
That bunnies eat their own poo?? They do!
It turns out they have two kinds of bunny poo. One full of waste and one kind full of nutrients, that they need in order to survive … so hence the whole poo eating thing.
I noticed the other day that dear Henry was spending an exorbitant amount of time “cleaning” his little boy parts, or so I thought. I then noticed that when he was finished he was chewing… how odd.
A bunny mystery.
I observed him some more and realized he was in fact eating something. hmmm, what could it be??
I showed Claire, she watched him with me and we decided that this must be what henry was doing. We exchanged looks of dismay and shock and a few hysterical girly giggles.
I looked it up and yes, this is in fact, true and here is why and it is all normal and everything.
Well, all I have to say about it is, Whoa!! Who knew?
I asked my girls and we all agree that we never, ever saw Willa do this. So either we did not notice (yeah, right) or she did it when we were not looking. Maybe in the privacy of her hutch at night. Such a polite girl!
I think I am grossed out about this. It might be one of those way too much information things—too late now though— I know.
Maybe I need to try to get my head around thinking of this as recycling or better yet, he is just making his own special “Henry” brand food. Designed special just for him.
Whoa!
This is a test of my love isn’t it?
