A longer digestive system is necessary to properly break down plant cellulose. This is why some small herbivores are copraphagic (eat their own shit, like rabbits): it takes two times through to extract adequate nutrients.

I thought you were eating the rabbit?

No, the rabbit’s already done all the work.

If it makes you feel any better, the poops they eat are different from the poops they don’t. It’d be like it half the time you pooped it was regular ol’ poop, but the other half of the time it was a nice piece of broccoli, or a snickers bar.

Is pooping snickers bars not normal for people?

I suspect round one is like eating milk, and round two is a fine cheese. Or eating cabbage, and later experiencing it as a well-aged kimchi. I’m sure it’s full of probiotics.

Rabbit pellets are literally just other rabbit’s poop
