Weird question

Postby Serena98 » Sun Mar 18, 2012 4:33 pm

Okay, so this is a really bizarre question but do bts eat their feces?
My cousin has one, and she says that sometimes it eats it's poop!
Just wondering if this is normal...
Thanks!

I know there are a lot of animals out there that if not fed enough will eat their own poo out of desperation and hunger.

I've never seen a BTS eat their poop, it isn't normal!

Welcome to the forum, where in Canada are you?

Ahhh....coprophagia; such an engrossing subject. :dead:

As for the OT portion: those living in N.A. don't understand the awful inconvenience when blotchies want to take over your backyard. They even have the audacity to have their babies and leave them behind. :roll:
There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who do not.

Usually when animals eat feces it's because they are at least partially malnourished or missing vitamins they need.
