Taenia pisiformis, commonly called the rabbit tapeworm, is an endoparasitic tapeworm which causes infection in lagomorphs, rodents, and carnivores. Adult T. pisiformis typically occur within the small intestines of the definitive hosts , the carnivores.

This life cycle is also very similar to T. pisiformis a canine and rabbit infecting parasite; however, T. pisiformis infected the body cavity of the rabbit and T. serialis infects muscle and subcutaneous tissue.

The act of eating cecotropes is referred to as cecotrophy, which is distinct from coprophagy which is the eating of feces proper. [5] [4] [6] Similarly, cecotropes are not fecal material, so terms such as "soft feces" and "night feces" are technically incorrect.
