Don't eat that

Yup, when I have some away from the colony for quarantine, you can see them nibblin on some poo. They create 2 different kinds of poo just like guinea pigs and rabbits. Gross, but they like it.

I still think it's neat how they can tell the difference between "vitapoos" and "regular poos".

Isn't it amazing the conversation that can be struck up over something eating their own poop. lol
