soft fecal mater When a rabbit produces and consumes its soft mushy poop (cecals) it is called Caecotrophy. Cacotrophy is a normal behavior for a rabbit. A rabbit’s diet of plant is hard to digest efficiently, and it will poop out lots of undigested nutrients. By eating this soft mushy poop, it gives them a second shot in using all of the nutrition in their food. Also, a rabbit’s poop contains vitamins produced by their intestinal bacteria.
