The rabbit is a monogastric hindgut fermenters and is a herbivore. Microbes in the hindgut produce [[Volatile Fatty Acids - Anatomy & Physioogy|VFAs]] which are available to the animal for energy. Microbes also produce vitamins and protein, which are available only in minimal quantities as they are produced in the hindgut. Most microbial fermentation occurs in the caecum (as opposed to the [[Hindgut Fermenters - Horse - Anatomy & Physiology|horse]] where most occurs in the colon). Rabbits usually eat at dusk.
