Why does our dog like to eat our rabbit's droppings?

Seriously, she'll follow the bunny around just to catch the poo. I'm just curious; it doesn't seem to hurt her at all, and the bunny doesn't mind. Thanks!Why does our dog like to eat our rabbit's droppings?
My dogs love guinea pig and rabbit poop. I dont know why though.Why does our dog like to eat our rabbit's droppings?
dogs may do this because when female dogs give birth they may eat the poo that surrounds them so it is a safer enviornment for the puppies. so the dog probably learned from their mother.





learned that from the show its me or the dog.


loveee it.





but i dont think that thats healthy for the dog.. so you may want to try to put an end to it.

I've found rat droppings in the cellar, is this dangerous?

I think I have rats in the cellar. My girlfriend and I rarely go down there, but I'm worried it is dangerous. We have water pipes down there, could they contaminate our water?? What would the symptoms of any disease be? I live in London by the way. Thank you!I've found rat droppings in the cellar, is this dangerous?
You should look online to check on diseases wild rats can transmit. This area is more for pet ratties, I can tell you all about a domestic rat. I know that the only disease that can be passed from human to rat is strep, but when you are talking about a wild rat, they get into trash and sewers, so are obviously carrying other nasty things that may make you sick. I doubt they contaminate your water supply, but if you are truly worried hire an exterminator. Just make sure they don't use glue traps.. those are very cruel.I've found rat droppings in the cellar, is this dangerous?
Well rats apparantly carry disease and they can also grow to be quite huge so you might want to get rid of them.....(although I don't really agree with killing them cause they're so cute).





But hey ho, maybe you should get a cat? If not then yeah, just google pest control in london and u shud be able to find a few places that could help.
Unlikely to gnaw through pipes unless they are plastic and this will lead to flooding. They can chew through electrical cable insulation which often zaps them but can also cause fires. You should contact local environmental health officer for advice.
Just means you got rats.
get some rat poison trays or powder packs and get rid of them, or call the local council for them to set bait
they might chew through any cables you have down their

How can I make gun powder out of bat droppings?

I take it you're referring to extracting nitrates like sodium, ammonium or more particularly potassium nitrate from the droppings which are particularly rich in nitrogen.


Don't bother! Its not a worthwhile proposition as there's too much other s**t in there.How can I make gun powder out of bat droppings?
Disgusting!!

    Will a leopard gecko be hurt if it eats a little of its own droppings?

    I have a leopard gecko and when he went to take a bite out of a cricket he accidentally got alittle of the white things that are on the gecko droppings in his mouth, wil this b a problem? thanksWill a leopard gecko be hurt if it eats a little of its own droppings?
    he should be absolutly fine my gecko did that and he is fine. As lond as the poop was normal he should regurgitate it or poop it out again. Thank you for being interested in your geckos health keep up the good work and always watch him when he eats to make sure hes eating normally.Will a leopard gecko be hurt if it eats a little of its own droppings?
    the ';white things'; is actually his excess calcium that he ingested, you dont need to worry about it. but watch out that the crickets and mealworms dont eat his droppings, it contains certain bacteria that, when ingested by the leo's pray, multiplies within the pray and when the leo eats the pray its stomach gets overloaded by the amount of bacteria and he gets sick. so clean up his dropping every day or second day, that way you will prevent something like that to happen.





    Good Luck!
    it came out of him so if if eat it again not a big deal but make sure shes not doing it alot she should be fine

    When Playing Golf, your ball lands in rabbit droppings or mole hills what is the rule for this ?

    and also what happens if you are having to stand in these types of objectsWhen Playing Golf, your ball lands in rabbit droppings or mole hills what is the rule for this ?
    Rabbit droppings are a loose imepdiment. It's basically the same as a stick or a leaf. You can move them out of the way. But if your ball moves in the process, it's a one-stroke penalty.





    If they are adhering to your ball, it's not a loose impediment. You have to play it as it lies.





    A mole hill, or the burrow made by a mole, is an abnormal ground condition. It's the same as ground under repair. Free drop within one club length of the nearest point of relief.When Playing Golf, your ball lands in rabbit droppings or mole hills what is the rule for this ?
    This happened to me in a golf tournament. The ruling is if you ball lands in a hole or anything that an animal created such as poop or a nest, it is a free drop with no stroke penalty.
    You will have an unplayable lie and you will need to get a ruling before you can proceed. Good Luck.
    Maybe a drop, I think it counts as a stroke, but not sure.
    Have to agree with John F.'s answer which quotes the proper rules of golf.
    You have to hit it from there unless there are any such exceptions at the local course.
    Those areas count as ground under repair, free drop.
    not sure
    free drop

    What do mouse droppings look like?

    I found these small, black, things that look like the ends were pinched. I'm pretty sure they're mouse droppings, but I can't figure out how a mouse would get in! They were only present under baseboard heaters and in 3 out of 4 corners in my living room. Could another species have droppings similar to a mouse? I want to get rid of whatever I have because I also have a baby!What do mouse droppings look like?
    Before you decide on a course of action it is imperative you identify the pest! Look on your baseboards and see if you notice a ' grease ' line. Rodents do not see well and will rub up against the baseboard for guidance. They always leave a trail of body oil or grease from their coat of fur. If you see these lines, then you have a mouse or rat problem. I would not recommend the use of ANY rodenticide. The active ingredient in most is an anti-coagulant. The rodent bleeds to death. The problem is there is no antidote. None. All medical personnel can do is administer massive doses of vitamin K. Don't use them. Rat or mouse traps can work, but can be dangerous to small children, as these traps can easily break finger bones. If theres no children present in your home bait it with peanut butter, then put a marachino cherry on top. Rodents can not resist these cherries and can smell them from great distances. If you do have children I would strongly urge the use of glue boards. They work. Just put a marachino cherry in the center and be patient. Rodents are creatures of habit. It will take some time ( 1 or 2 days ) before the rodent will go for it. When the rodent activity has stopped( no more droppings ) find their entry point and seal them shut.What do mouse droppings look like?
    ~~You have perfectly described their droppings. Now you need traps and lay them around the area you see the droppings, as well as dark places and electrical places (like around you computer tower), TVs. I would use the humane traps with a baby, as the spring type traps could break a little ones finger. Investigate all around your house and look for torn vent screens as well as any hole they could get through (it does not take a very big opening, they can literally squeeze through unbelievably tight spots). Fix those and get rid of the one or ones in your home and you'll be mouse free. Good luck!~~
    Mouse droppings look like black rice kernels and rats look more like black tic tacs. Remember for every one rodent you see, there are 20 more you don't. Rats can enter your home through a hole the size of a quarter and a mouse the size of a dime.
    Sounds like it to me. Mice can get in the smallest places.Just set some traps with peanut butter. You'll get him.
    They look like a smaller black tic-tac......good luck
