Pot Belly Pig Eating Rabbit Droppings?

[TwinArrowsFarm]

Our new pot belly piglet (10 weeks old) is going under the rabbit hutch and eating their droppings. Is this harmful to them? I worried about her becoming ill. Please post answers on experience not opinions. I've read about them eating cow manure or their own droppings but haven't found anything on rabbit droppings. Thanks everyone!

I wouldn't really want my pigs eating any sort of droppings really...
I MEAN they eat their own on accident sometimes, because they eat and forage on the ground.
But I'd be weary of them eating other species poops.

It probably wouldn't harm them too badly, I mean in the 1700's they used to let pigs roam around in the streets and the hogs would eat human and animal feces, plus garbage.... and they'd be just fine.

I'd be worried about some kind of parasite transfer maybe?
Not super educated about rabbits here!

Rabbits eat plants and their manure is one of the very few manures that is completely safe to use in your garden without aging it first.

As such, I would imagine this is your pigs way of trying to get some more nutrients that are otherwise not available to them.
