The fox was snoozing away on his usual rock when the group of rabbit boys came upon him, seven of them in total. The oldest bunny leading the pack peered over to double check that the fox was asleep before turning to address the others, not bothering to speak at a whisper. "Alright guys, now that you're all old enough to be men and even find mates, it's time to stop coddling you. You're all going to be eaten at least once in your lives, and likely a great deal many more times then that, so consider this like a swimming lesson."

One of the rabbits in the crowd shuffled to peek over the shoulders of a taller male in front of him, raising a hand to be called on. "Shouldn't we be getting lessons on how to avoid being eaten? I wanted to ask out Loly today, I don't wanna spend the day in a foxes belly." He asked with a whiny voice, the complaint rousing some mummers of agreement from the other boys.

The mentor of the pack waved off the concern. "There is no 'avoiding' being eaten, we're rabbits. Being eaten is a part of life! The best way to get over the jitters about that is to dive into the deep end, and there's no deeper end than this one." He stepped up onto the flat smooth surface of the rock and hopped over to the slumbering fox, the watching six bunnies gasped in concern when the experienced rabbit went right up to the soft gut of the predator and pressed a hand into it.

The contact stirred the fox out of his sleep, and and he peeked up through one eye at the disturbance while the other remained clamped shut still half asleep. The wizened rabbit smiled apologetically to the fox before turning to address his group again. "Now hopefully he'll be too sleepy to gobble us all up at once, so we should be able to do this one at a time and I'll be able to walk everyone through it. Now who wants to volunteer to go first?" The six newly matured rabbits shuffled sheepishly none of them wanting to be the first up. The woken fox turned his head to look at the group with his face still scrunched up from being so rudely awoken, but with a lazy wave of his hand he pointed to a brown furred rabbit amidst the crowd and then beckoned him over.

"Looks like you're up first, Todd! Come on up, don't be shy, everyone will be joining you soon enough." The lecturing rabbit ushered him up, the brown rabbit whimpering as his friends helpfully pushed him forward and he stumbled his way onto the rock. He fidgeted nervously as he approached the fox, who was beginning to wake up more properly and stretched out while yawning giving the rabbit a perfect view of the deep abyss of his open throat.

"I-I really don't want to do this, p-please. I don't want to be fox food. I'm too young! My birthday was only yesterday! Can't I please hold this off until next year?" Todd stammered and stumbled looking to be on the verge of tears.

The oldest bunny just rolled his eyes and wrapped an arm around his protege's shoulders, ushering him right up beside the fox. "Now now, just relax. It's alright to be scared, everyone is scared the first time. But this is part of being a man. It's going to happen some day whether you like it or not, and it's best to get that first time out of the way in a controlled environment with a compliant predator who isn't going to try and scare you by being a bully about it."

The fox let out a huff and rolled his eyes to punctuate the rabbits statement about him, adjusting his position against the rock and easing up on his elbows. He'd been rudely awakened and was getting impatient, so he looked at the brown bunny and opened his maw wide as if to wordlessly demand he get on with it. Todd winced away from the sight, but his mentor gently eased him forward pushing him to bend down towards the yawning mouth head first.

"Now obviously nine times out of ten, this is going to happen because a predator hunted you down and crammed you down his throat without so much as a how-was-your-day, but you get used to that kind of disturbance. Eventually it becomes something of an unplanned routine." As the elder rabbit pushed on the back of Todd's head to press him down into that open maw, the fox licked over his face and then leaned up to engulf the bunny properly. Wrapping his lips around his shoulders, the five watching rabbits let out a gasp as everything that followed happened so suddenly.

The fox suckled around the brown bunny and swept him right off his feet, slurping his body down like a noodle, more drinking him than swallowing him as the prey went from standing on the rock to being nothing but a lump puffing out the foxes cheeks and then sliding down his neck in two smooth motions; suck, and gulp. Todd barely had time to yell out, his voice muffled from within the fox, as he slid down and quickly spilled into the predators stomach. The organ stretched around him to accommodate his presence, and from the outside that well fed tummy bulged out from the meal being packed inside. The fox huffed with a visible puff of steam from his lips after he finished rapidly devouring the bunny, a stifled hiccup followed by a sudden belch erupting out before he flopped back against the rock and caught his breath.

"How is it in there, Todd?" The mentor bun asked, knocking his knuckles against the stomach while it shifted and wobbled with imprints of moving and pushing limbs from inside.

"It's... cramped. And Slimey. And hot." The rabbit within answered, his voice muffled but still audible even over the active sounds of stomach all around him and the panting fox who was threatening to fall right back to sleep. "This is awful. I don't want to be in here."

The older bunny nodded as he stood back to his full height. "It can be an acquired taste." He said dismissively, then turned to the watching five rabbits and addressed them, while still making sure Todd could also hear his words. "Now, once you're inside the predators stomach there can be some variation. Many preds will more or less ignore you being inside them, after all how often do you pay mind to the carrot you ate for breakfast after you're done with it? To many of them, most of the time, we're just food that isn't worth regarding any further attention to after we're swallowed."

He shifted on his feet and pressed a finger up the bridge of his nose like he was adjusting a pair of glasses, not that he was wearing any. "That's really the best case scenario usually. Other times a predator will go out of their way to try and make you feel miserable. Say rude or mean spirited things to you, undermine your self worth, just endeavor to be as unpleasant as possible."

"This is already unpleasant..." Todd's voice muffled from inside the fox. The interrupted rabbit smacked at the belly to silence him, the fox groaning at the contact.

"Now then, a predators temperament aside, things always progress the same. After a few minutes the stomach will start to realize it has food inside of it, and start the digestion process." To emphasize his next words the elder leaned against the stomach, pressing his body against it like he was laying on a beanbag, and started squishing and rubbing against the stomach. The fox purred as the external stimulation got his belly kick started, and Todd whimpered and yelped from inside.

"Digestion can take anywhere from a handful of minutes to days at a time, circumstances depending. When digesting you the stomach will leak with a gastric fluid that feels not unlike maple syrup, and it will gum up your fur something fierce. Todd in here is probably already soaked head to toe in the stuff, if we could see him in there now he'd probably look like he just climbed out of a mud pit. A mud pit that's filled with tree sap instead of mud. Once you're completely soaked the extra fluid will start to accumulate inside the stomach and you'll be provided with a very viscous bubble bath."

As if to contribute to the lesson Todd was making muffled noises from inside the belly, shifting and moving around causing the gut to jump and bounce before their eyes. All the while the foxes breathing was going back and forth between rapid panting and slow relaxed breaths, interrupted by the intermittent belch that caused his gut to squeeze down and made Todd yelp within.

"The stomach syrup will absorb into your body like a salve. Depending on how long the digestion takes, soon or eventually you'll start to feel softer and more malleable. Eventually you'll be able to fold yourself to literally kiss your own ass, or be able to fit through the eye of a needle." The crowd giggled at the surprise profanity, while Todd muffled a sob from inside. "Oh don't be so dramatic in there."

"It feels weird...!" Todd shouted from inside, his efforts to shove against the walls compressing around him getting labored while the stomach walls gave less and less give to his shoves and kicks.

"So does sitting on your foot until it falls asleep. Once you go through it enough times it can start to feel really good, if a bit intense. Don't be surprised if a girlfriend tries to talk you into having a honeymoon inside of a pred at some point in your life~" The fox chuckled and smacked his lips wistfully at the suggestion, while the speaking rabbit stifled a blush and the watching crowd of bunny boys exchanged incredulous looks.

"Ahem... anyway, while you're softening up in there the stomach will be very intent on going back to its usual shape and size when it doesn't have food inside of it. And as you get softer and softer, the stomach will have an easier and easier time of doing that. Which means it's going to get very cramped in there for you soon Todd, and harder to move. But don't panic, it's all perfectly normal. As is the bubble bath of belly brother rising up and submerging more and more of you." The lecturer leaned into the stomach and spoke directly through the belly walls. "You might get dunked under the liquid completely, but don't try holding your breath. Just breathe normally."

"Nothing.... about this.... feels normal!" Todd complained from inside, the outline of his body becoming less distinct and the stomach looking more smooth and round while also sloshing audibly from the contents. There would soon be more stomach fluid inside the gut than there was rabbit, and the sight of his body under the layer of tummy flesh was getting lost admist the slosh and splash of the internal pool.

"The stomach knows what it's doing, it's digested hundreds if not thousands of rabbits before you. You aren't going to beat it. Just enjoy the ride." The older rabbit said not very reassuringly right before the stomach squeezed down tight and an audible slushing squeltch rang out followed by the fox releasing a loud meaty belch.

"Ah, the stomach is finished digesting Todd! Now what can happen after digestion varies depending on the predator and yourself. One way or the other, the stomach will drain like a bathtub emptying out, all the tummy broth flushing down and out of the organ to flow through the predators guts. Rarely, you may find even after the belly bath tub empties out you will remain in the stomach, but this usually only happens if you are trying to stay inside the stomach on purpose or if the predator is trying to keep you in there on purpose."

The fox purred and rubbed a hand over his belly after it settled back into its normal shape, rumbling with leftover digestive sounds and sloshing with a bit of remaining juices. Clearly, Todd was no longer inside of the stomach.

"However what normally happens is you'll drain out of the stomach along with the fluids, and find yourself pumping your way through the predators guts. It's a real winding road, but since you'll be so lubricated and malleable by that point it doesn't last very long. Now while you're going through the intestines it's normal to end up getting snagged by a villi, those microscopic little hairlike nubs in the small intestine, and get sucked down into pudge. However..." The rabbit looked at the fox and locked eyes with him, the predator making a grumble but then huffed compliantly. "For the sake of this lesson the fox will just let you take the full tour without any pit stops or detours. We'll save the lesson on what ending up as fox fat is like for another day."

The fox grunted as while the rabbit traveled through his lower stomach mostly unseen from the outside, only the occasional shifting lump was visible above his groin while Todd winded his way through the foxes insides. After a minute or two the fox spread his legs, lifting one of them up to make some space, and with barely a grunt suddenly Todd came sliding out back into fresh air. The foxes rump squeltched and eased the rabbit out quickly, the former meal flowing out from the top of his head to the tip of his toes in less than five seconds and soon found himself laid out across the rock.

The recently devoured rabbit staggered as he rose back to his feet, the eldest bunny helping to lift him up while Todd had some spinny dizzy swirls in his eyes as he came down from the intense experience of being digested and then full toured by the fox. His fur was initially glossy from the foxes internal fluids, but within moments after being released that moist sheen dissipated and he dried rapidly before their eyes until his fur was soft and poofed as if it had been vigorously blow dried.

"As you can see the trip through a predator is fairly quick, when you're not getting pudged of course. Any leftover fluids from going in one end and out the other will dry fast and you'll be left feeling freshly conditioned and extra fluffy."

"The only thing I feel is like I need to lay down..." Todd stammered, stumbling a bit until the mentor rabbit helped him step down from the rock and sit down against the side of the stone surface, slumping a bit while the older bunny pat his head.

"Yes, being digested is a fairly intense experience. Ending up as pudge for at least a little bit can actually be the preferred outcome most of the time, there's no better place to recover and enjoy some aftercare than a snug bed of predator fat." He mused informatively, the fox giving his stomach a smack for emphasis - the rabbits actually managed to hear the muffled moan from the paunch as it jiggled from the slap.

"Now then! Who wants to take the plunge next?" The oldest rabbit asked aloud, gesturing to the foxes head who lazily opened his mouth with his eyes closed, waiting expectantly for a rabbit to be fed to him. The five yet to be eaten rabbits all exchanged looks, then in a flurry of sudden movement began to scramble for the rock, pushing and shoving each other to try and be the first to climb up and be the next one eaten. "Now now, one at a time, we have all day and there's plenty of fox for all of us..."
