 Yucky Rabbit Poo!!!
We live in the SW suburbs of Chicago, not quite urban but not quite rural...and our neighborhood is infested with wild rabbits. They are everywhere, which also means their rabbit poo is everywhere.
My yorkie has a disgusting habbit of eating rabbit poo whenever we let her go in the back yard. A matter of fact it would appear as though she seeks it out, and there are tons of it in our fenced back yard. It also doesn't help that the rabbit poo is about the same size, shape and color of her puppy kibble.
Aside from me being completely disgusted by her doing this... Will there be any health issues from her doing this? Can she get ill or get diseases from eating the rabbit poo? I'm not sure exactly how much she eats, but I bet the majority of her time back there is sniffing out and eating rabbit poo...so now my wife and I just limit her outside time to leashed walks around the block. Of course, she still finds the rabbit poo but at least we can reign her in and prevent her from eating it. It's like she prefers the rabbit poo over her puppy kibble. Maybe I should look at better tasting puppy kibble for her, LOL? |
