Is it normal for experimental animals mice to eat their own poop?

Normal. Some animals (such as the rabbit mentioned by a certain person upstairs) have an imperfect digestive system, so they have the phenomenon of eating their own excrement for secondary digestion, which is also a helpless move!

Normally, most animals eat their own stool, and one of the reasons is that animals themselves only have the concept of food, not feces, and the other is that there are animals that have feces that contain substances that their species needs, so they have the need to eat stool.

Normally, there are many animals that eat feces. The purpose is probably to aid digestion.

Normal because the stool contains undigested nutrients and minerals.

It's normal, and so are rabbits

It seems to be something in their feces.

I don't remember.

Normal has its own smell and he feels safe!!

Maybe it's a lack of vitamins.

With the conservation of rejection energy, they can't eat enough, and they must eat something else.

Rats poop after eating, but only one to two grains, so it is impossible to determine how much stool a mouse has in a day, mainly depending on the number of times the mouse eats.

These rats are highly reproductive, adaptable, and have a high survival rate, so their numbers are growing rapidly. They mate all year round, have a gestation period of about 21 days, and give birth to 6 to 8 fetuses per year, with 5 to 10 at a time.

Rats continue to reproduce. When a mouse is 2 to 3 months old, it can reproduce, and in a year's time, a single female mouse can increase the number of rats in her family by thousands! It's terrible.

Rats eat their own kind! I have two little mice, and one of them is lively enough to eat his own kind! Didn't lie to you!

The one that was alive was eaten by the one who kept eating! It almost didn't scare me to death.

I'm an undergraduate student doing clinical pharmacology experiments, and rats eat their own kind! If the rat has been fainting or dying, it will be eaten again! Eat them all, a few times we went to see the lab rats in the morning and ate a little tail, not just when they were hungry!

My rat got on one of the rats and the next morning I saw the rat's head eaten, and I was stunned.

Yes, rats have a strong desire to survive, and if food is scarce, they will not hesitate to bite to death and eat their own kind to survive.

It is impossible for a rat to eat its own kind, but it will try its best to protect the fetus when it is pregnant, while biting to death, biting its own kind, the owner.

Oh, how can a mouse eat its own kind

They're not carnivores, and they're generally dominated by corn and rice, and I've seen you like that, that's how the rats starved to death, and the corpses decomposed, and the rats might not get out of the drawers, and the ones were definitely dead and rotten, and they stinked a little

It is possible to eat one's own kind, and when it is too hungry, people will eat people.

I don't know how to eat it myself, but I can.

This happens in space, but on Earth.

Only the mother rat was fed very well.

It is because the mother mouse feels that the baby mouse born is unsafe and will eat it, and the reason for this phenomenon is because the reproductive environment is not suitable, and the breeding environment with moderate humidity and low light should be chosen!

It's because it feels dangerous, and it doesn't let other animals take away the little mouse if it eats it, and many animals will love it to the extreme.

You want to make it safe, quiet, and non-threatening.

If you find it, you'll be separated.,But if it's hand-raised.。。。 Call the vet.

It generally occurs when female mice give birth for the first time and are raised in captivity from an early age.

This situation had to be isolated.

Possibly. Be sure to clean it up in time.

Hope it helps.

In order to shorten the time spent on eating in the wild, protect yourself, and supplement with animal protein. Rabbit soft manure is not just semi-digested forage. It also contains a large number of bacterial proteins, vitamins and trace elements, after rabbits eat soft feces, the synthesis of complex vitamins B and K is easy to be absorbed by the small intestine for the needs of body growth.

There are more than 9.5 billion protein-rich microorganisms in 1 gram of soft manure. Rabbits can produce and eat about 50 grams of soft feces at a time, which is equivalent to the protein supplemented by an adult eating 25 grams of pork at a time. At the same time, the mineral elements in soft manure are also conducive to promoting the absorption of nutrients by the rabbit's body.

It is normal for rabbits to eat the soft feces that they excrete on their own to make full use of nutrients.

We always compare animals to people, why don't humans eat their own feces, it's because we humans have enough time, when we have no food to eat like hungry rabbits, it's not impossible.

Rabbits eat their own feces for several reasons:

1. The rabbit's gastrointestinal system is not good, and there is undigested food in the feces.

For example, we can usually see dogs eating their own feces, because some animals are in a hurry when eating, and the food is eaten very quickly, and the stomach and intestines have not had time to digest it before it has become feces and is excreted. At this time, the animal maintains the principle of not wasting and will eat its own feces again and filter the food again.

Think of cattle and sheep is the same, although they do not eat their own manure, but they will return to their mouths when the intestines are not well digested and then chew in detail and then pull out, the general cattle and sheep feces contain almost no food.

2. In order to protect themselves, rabbits eat their own feces.

In the food chain of the animal kingdom, the animals that generally eat rabbits are large and ferocious animals, such as wolves, leopards, tigers, etc., these animals have a sensitive sense of smell and can find this animal through animal feces, so the rabbit's situation is very dangerous.

In general, if you eat your own feces, it is not easy for other carnivores to find them.

Therefore, what we humans find incredible is just a long-evolved tradition for animals. Whether it's rabbits, dogs, cows and sheep, they are used to this way of living, so they don't feel that there is anything wrong with eating feces.

Rabbits generally eat their own soft manure. The nutrients of soft feces are easily absorbed and utilized by the body in a semi-digested state. Synthetic multivitamins are easily absorbed by the small intestine. So rabbits do that, and it's also a kind of evolution of living things.

Why do rabbits eat feces? Rabbits' poop is usually small, hard, black balls, and some soft droppings can also appear. Rabbits may eat these soft droppings!

These soft feces contain nutrients such as plant fiber and some unabsorbed vitamins and proteins that cannot be digested in the food, and the rabbit eats them to absorb the nutrients they need, and then excretes them into small round dung balls. This is normal and necessary. If this droppings are not eaten, some rabbits may die from malnutrition!

Could it be, why don't my rabbits eat it.
