Chinchilla poop is downright cute and doesn’t come with smelly urine like hamsters and rabbits.

Tarantula poop is pretty inoffensive. It’s like cleaning toothpaste spatter off glass and only needs done a couple times a year.

Ooh, good one! I think you might win the thread!

I’ve never tasted honeydew, but I _have_ had “forest honey” which is made by honeybees collecting honeydew from aphids instead of collecting flower nectar. So it’s basically bug poop that was swallowed by another bug that vomited it up and then I ate the vomit that was made from poop. It was pretty tasty!

We used to have a guinea pig that ran around the house. It produced non-smelly, hard pellets that could be easily swept up (it did once ejaculate in the corner though).

Elephant poo is basically grass. Once it dries out it’s perfect digetible by humans (this is a good trick to pull out in the bush).

Hyena poo is white due to the amount of bone in it, and can come out in some interesting shapes. Once dry it makes quite an interesting household ornament!

That would be me. All my friends say it opens with fruits and nuts and finishes with dark chocolate. To me, it’s strawberry ice cream. YMMV.

That is just really cool somehow. 🙂 Did not know that.
