Both rabbits and hares are almost exclusively herbivorous (although some Lepus species are known to eat carrion), [5] [6] feeding primarily on grasses and herbs, although they also eat leaves, fruit, and seeds of various kinds. Easily digestible food is processed in the gastrointestinal tract and expelled as regular feces.
