Rabbit eating BOTH poos

Question
Hi!
I have a pet rabbit (I don't know the exact type only that he is fluffy with loppy ears) He is a house rabbit and we've noticed that there has been no rabbit poo around the house, I'd thought this was because he was using his cage to poo but today we noticed that when he poos he quickly eats it.. I know that he should eat the other poo, but what do you think is making him eat this one?

thanks!

Answer
Hi, I don't really understand what you mean by both but I will try and answer the question the best I can.  Rabbits eat there poo in little portions throughout the day because they need the nutriants inside of it to help digest there food. This is normal.  Thanks, Kiersten.
