B)bladder stones
C)night feces
D)normal gut bacteria

Accepted Answer

Cecotrophs are also known as "night feces" and are a special type of poop produced by rabbits and other small herbivorous animals. Cecotrophs are soft, sticky, and coated in a mucus layer that protects them from digestion as they pass through the intestines a second time. Cecotrophs are rich in nutrients like protein, vitamins, and fiber, which the rabbit can then absorb and utilize. They are an important part of a rabbit's digestive and nutritional health.
