It's not really a stretch to label "unclean" an animal that eats its own feces.

- tsotha 11y agoYes, like rabbits. Horses, too.
- bamie9l 11y agoThe health implications aren't as bad with herbivores
- GalacticDomin8r 11y agoUm, yeah I suppose that's one way of way saying. In actually, the health implications are good for herbivores AND other less efficient digestive systems like those in the rodent family.

- dingaling 11y agoCorprophagia is actually a pretty effective method our keeping a litter clean. A nursing dog will stimulate her puppies to defecate and if she can't carry the stools away from the litter she will eat them. Canine gastric acidity can drop below pH 1 to handle this.
