WHAT ARE CECOTROPES?

Rabbits are hindgut fermenters Cecotropes are one of the two kinds of fecal matter produced by rabbits.  They’re passed through the intestines and subsequently re-ingested for added nutrients.  They’re slimy and stinky and packed with vitamins and minerals.  Rabbits usually eat them at night directly from the anus. Hence the nicknames nighttime feces or midnight berries.
