Picture this: you're watching your bunny hop around, and suddenly it starts nibbling on... yep, its own poop. Gross, right? But why do pets do these things that make us cringe? Why Rabbits Eat Poop and Other Gross Facts about Pets pulls back the curtain on the secret lives of our furry, scaly, and feathered friends, revealing habits you'd never guess—and why they're totally normal in the animal world.
Pets aren't trying to gross us out; they've got reasons rooted in survival and biology. Rabbits eat their soft night droppings (called cecotropes) to snag extra nutrients their guts missed the first time around. It's like a second breakfast for better health. Then there's the fish that gobble up tank mates—cannibalism in aquariums often stems from overcrowding, stress, or just plain hunger. This book breaks it all down without the jargon, using real examples from dogs, cats, birds, and more.
Short chapters packed with "did you know?" moments keep things snappy. You'll learn about dogs eating grass to soothe upset stomachs, cats licking themselves bald from anxiety, or parrots plucking feathers for comfort. Each fact comes with a quick "why" explanation, backed by animal behavior basics. No long scientific lectures—just enough to satisfy that itch for gross knowledge.
Reading this changed how I view my own pets' quirks. That time my cat stared at a wall for hours? Could be feline hyperesthesia syndrome, a neurological tic. Now I know it's not just weird—it's worth a vet check. Parents love sharing these bits with kids who devour gross-out books; it sparks talks about animal care and biology without feeling like school. Animal lovers use it to decode behaviors, cutting down on unnecessary worry.
