scavanging and poo eating

Oh by the way, when our daughter was a tiny tot, we had our guinea pigs freely running around our safely fenced garden. My husband one day caught her picking up and eating the liquorice allsorts that were to be found all around the garden.:eek:

Eeeeeewww!!!:confused:

Jasper loved 'bunny kibble'. It never seemed to cause a problem, but then he was able to eat all sorts of disgusting things with no ill effects, and dogs to vary in this regard.

Had obviously survived boarding school food….
 
I must say that the most horrible school dinners I had ever had was at the Convent of Notre Dame near Cobham, Oh yuk! I do feel sorry for the poor borders. Luckily I was a day pupil.

Yes, I remember those girls. Our sixth form at Weybridge was mixed with the young ladies from St. Maur’s - what fun, even as a boarder!
 
Also, rabbits only part digest their food on the first eating, they then eat the semi digested poo to finish off the process.
 
Ah you've got to love a good poo conversation on a Sunday morning!:D:D:D

I have a collective word for my dogs that eat poo, they are all 'poovers':cool::D and I'm quite happy when my lot only hoover up the rabbit poo, that's a good day!
 
Help!
I have resorted to keeping my dog on lead due to poo eating and scavanging. The poo eating started this year and am hoping by not allowing it (difficult ) that it will just be a phase.He is coming up 2years. What else can l do? He has always picked up stuff on the street, especially plastic but will usually drop for a treat. This seems to be slowly improving. Just feel so mean for not letting him run.

Hi luv I feel for you my Frenchie used to do it when she was young but doesn't now but as soon as they've been to the loo I pick it straight up. I had a German shepherd who would do it occasionally but I didn't give her the chance to do it it's a nasty habit I hope you get it sorted. Michelle

Yes that's strange she would eat Pepe s poo but not her own and they are fed the same. Strange. Lol
 
Not that strange. Sometimes there is a territorial aspect to it, so in such cases, it makes sense to eat other dogs' poo but not their own.

Thanks
I hope it gets sorted out!
He is away for the weekend with me so l was tempted to let him have a run on the beach which was looked fairly safe.
He was hesitant but soon found his confidence...and promptly found some poo to eat. I must admit it upset me...worrying that he'd get ill again. So frustrating.
He is trialing a grain free diet which he seems ok on with a little pineapple every other day. His poo is firm but rather large for a small dog! Of course..that might be the side dishes!
At least he is leaving his own alone.
