Although rabbits cannot digest the cellulose in their all-plant diet, bacteria that live in their cecum can. However, to make full use of the nutrients released by bacterial action, a rabbit must produce and eat a special type of feces. Why must the rabbit reswallow this material to obtain the nutrients released by bacterial action?
