Cecotropes

Rabbits produce "cecotropes," or night feces that they poop out and then eat so that they can digest it a second time around. Rabbits have a fast-moving digestive system, and by redigesting waste, they're able to absorb nutrients their bodies missed the first time.

Very interesting, I never knew that!
My dog has taken a liking to bunny poo, we have several rabbits in our neighbourhood.
