Young rabbits start eating their own cecotropes at about day 20. [3] The stomach of the babies has a pH of 5 to 6.5, which does not kill the microbes. However, when the mother's milk combines with an enzyme in the baby's stomach, it produces an antimicrobial fatty acid (octanoic and decanoic acids) (milk oil) which kills microbes. [2]

Life cycle of Trichuris trichiura inside and outside the human body. The female T. trichiura produces 2,000–10,000 single-celled eggs per day. [3] Eggs are deposited from human feces to soil where, after two to three weeks, they become embryonated and enter the "infective" stage.
[18] [19] The eggs are hardy and can remain infectious in a moist environment for up to three weeks, [11] [18] though in a warm dry environment they usually last only 1–2 days. [20] They do not tolerate heat well, but can survive in low temperatures: at −8 degrees Celsius (18 °F), two-thirds of the eggs are still viable after 18 hours.

Dipylidium caninum, also called the flea tapeworm, double-pored tapeworm, or cucumber tapeworm (in reference to the shape of its cucumber-seed-like proglottids, though these also resemble grains of rice or sesame seeds) is a cyclophyllid cestode that infects organisms afflicted with fleas and canine chewing lice, including dogs, cats, and sometimes human pet-owners ...
Baby rabbits are actually called kittens, just like baby cats. But although they are born hairless, blind, and deaf, their path to development is much faster than their feline counterparts.
