https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprophagia

Lagomorphs (rabbits, hares, pikas) and some other mammals ferment fiber in their cecums, which is then expelled as cecotropes and eaten from the anus, a process called "cecotrophy". Then their food is processed through the gastrointestinal tract a second time, which allows them to absorb more nutrition. While cecotropes are expelled from the anus, they are not feces and thus eating them is not called coprophagia.

Not technically poop, so the cereal should be totally safe to eat

The ones in the picture that look like cocoa puffs are not cecotropes, but their regular poop. Instead, cecotropes look almost exactly like blackberries. Fun!

They still eat their regular poop all the time though, so if safety is your concern, I think you should be fine!
