I am pretty sure that CUD is the food regurgitated from the first stomach to the mouth of a ruminant and chewed again. Eating food that has passed through the digestive system, would not be considered such...but I could be wrong.

No, no2creation, you're not wrong. Cud chewing is the process of regurgitating (vomiting) partially digested food into the mouth where it is chewed again (the vomited partially digested food is the cud). It requires multi-chambered stomachs, and the animals that do this are known as ruminants. The best know example would be the cow.Rabbits, however, eat their food, partially digest it, excrete it, then eat their faeces, and further digest it the second time through. This ends up having about the same effect as chewing the cud - it is, however, a markedly different process. Rabbits do not chew the cud. This merely one of the many places where the bible is factually wrong (Leviticis 11 is a wonderful source of errors like this - there's like half a dozen errors of fact in one chapter).
