A pika haystack can contain as much as a bushel of plant matter. The pika will often move the pile to protect it from rain or to find a better drying spot. After the vegetation dries, the pika will move it to its den deep in the rocks.
The Pika's food passes quickly though the digestive system and is only partially digested. They often eat their own feces (waste) to extract more nutrients in the digestion process.
