Question

What are cecotropes?

Answer 1

Cecotropes (also "caecotrophes") also known as "night faeces", are the product of the cecum, a part of the digestive system in mammals of the order lagomorpha, which includes two families: Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas). Cecotropes are passed through the intestines and subsequently reingested for added nutrients in a process known as "caecotrophy", "caecophagy" "pseudorumination", "refection", or "coprophagy". Reingestion is also practised by a few species of rodent (such as the capybara and guinea pig), a marsupial and a primate.[1]

Answer 2

They're just ropes with cecot on them

Answer 3

Cecotropes, also called 'night f***s' or 'soft f***s,' are the material resulting from the fermentation of food in a part of the digestive system called the 'cecum.' Cecotropes are nutrient-rich and are passed out of the body, like f***s, but are reingested by the animal so the nutrients can be absorbed. Cecotropes have twice the protein, and half of the fiber of the typical hard fecal pellet. They also contain high levels of vitamin K and the B vitamins.
