Wow. I was a little surprised whenthey mentioned that feeding the sick rabbit cecotropes from a healthyrabbit might be helpful (as long as it doesn't stress them).

Pretty gross, but if it helped, I'm sure I'd be willing to try it.

Thanks, Pam. This is a keeper.

I thought that was pretty weird too. I wonder if they would even accept another bunny's tropes.

 

[Snuggys Mom]

Eeew. I know. Maybe you have to syringe them. EEEEEEWWWWWW!!!

 

[Snuggys Mom]

How would you "harvest" them? Mybunnies don't have leftovers. I'm getting crazy visuals nowthat I'd rather not have. I can see me, sitting up at night,holding the rabbits up, waiting.

I guess it's only natural with animals. My dogs do that occasionally.
