Do Rabbits Really Eat Their Own Poop? https://naturalrabbitcare.com/eww-rabbits-really-eat-poop/ Raising Rabbits Naturally Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:40:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.1 By: Kristi Stone https://naturalrabbitcare.com/eww-rabbits-really-eat-poop/#comment-12 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:42:22 +0000 http://naturalrabbitcare.thismindbeinyou.com/?p=44#comment-12 Hi Pam~ Is the wet spot an injury that you can see? If so, I’d give it a spray with Vetericyn to clean it out and see if that clears it up within a week or so. Is the eye itself runny? If so, that could be a completely different thing. Either way, the Vetericyn should help, and it doesn’t hurt if you spray into the eyes. I’ve used it for my bunny’s double eye infection and it cleared up the issue within hours, really. Great stuff.

It sounds like you have a wonderful setup for your rabbits, Pam–very roomy. I was told that their living space should be large enough for them to stand on their hind legs and not touch the roof. I honestly don’t know if that’s true, but I would imagine anything smaller would be very crampy for even smaller rabbits.

Rabbits often get along well with other animals (besides each other!). Will they be wandering around freely around the horses? I would think that could be dangerous if they were to get under the horses’ hooves, but I’m guessing that I might be misunderstanding your description here.

I am still learning. I have 2 male mini loops. One has a spot that stays wet under his eye, not right under it, just a little ways down. I was told he could have gotten stuck with hay but don’t know for sure. Is there something I can put under the eye? No soars or scratches just stays wet. I was told they had to be separated at a certain age which I did. They can still see each other & play but not get to each others they have their own house wit a eating/living area & a bedroom/bathroom area & they have their own yard fenced & covered. I love spending time with them. Should they have a certain size yard? I have them, a cat, 2 dogs 4hens & 2 roosters & working on my fence for my horses on 75 acres. The rabbits fenced area will be in the area with the horses, will that be okay? Thank you for any help!
