It's not actual poop, it's cecals. Rabbits produce two kind of droppings: poop and cecals. They eat the cecals,not the poop.
The cecotropes are passed through the digestive tract of the rabbit and nutrients such as vitamins,amino acids and fatty acids are released from the bacteria and absorbed into the rabbit's body. In this way, rabbits are very efficient at producing their own vitamin, protein and fat supply from food. Cecals.
Rabbits are clean animals.
