How many caecotrophs do rabbits produce per day??

I realise it probably depends on how much they eat a day but I was just wondering if anyone knew on average?

Just interested to know really!

I'm not sure how you'd find out, as a healthy rabbit will generally eat them straight from their bums, so you'd never see them. A rabbit that leaves them is likely ill, in pain or has a bit of a dodgy tummy.
 
Yeah I figured other than spending the whole day just staring at them .......... !!!

Just wondered if anyone on here had it stored away as a random fact! :lol:
 
it's not something I'd ever experienced and freaked out when I first saw one..

I've seen them recently as my girly can't stomach Burgess excel pellets and my new rescue bun, tried chewing Lino and had a slow gut,,, they are rather gross..... I'd rather not see them...:lol:
 
Harley never used to eat hers...she would do about 2 a day. Now she is bonded she eats them...:roll:
