goldfish have a memory span of about 30 seconds, 30 seconds later they forget what just happened and is happy as can be. i read that somewhere, don't know if true.

So do most human babies at one time or another. Ponder that one for a moment.

Bunnies die if they don't eat their own (or another rabbit's) poop. <- Not a joke.

Well that is not true with my goldfish. It begs for food and knows when he is being fed and where to go to get it. If they forget every 15 seconds then he wouldnt do any of that at all.


And as far as gross this is no where near as bad as some of the humans that do it :p

Herbivores such as rabbits and rodents eat their own poop because their diet of plants is hard to digest efficiently, and they have to make two passes at it. Ponder that for a moment.
