        I try to be careful about recycling, composting, etc not only because I like to, but I have several friends who are master gardeners and composters and they give me heck if they catch me wasting anything.

        I love the fact that so much about having bunnies is ‘green’, I fill my flower beds with the litter box stuff, even the wilted greens they might not find can go into my little worm composting box. The wet newspapers from the littler boxes go in places I don’t want to weed and I mulch over them with wood chips from my woodpile. I’ve ‘recyled’ my NIC cubes lots of times instead of buying new pens and cages.

        So just for fun last night I OFFERED: a large bag of hay/pee/poo/woodpellets from my litter boxes on our local Freecycle site thinking, this will be the first item that nobody wants. Wrong! within the hour I had 10 requests, by noon today I have over 35, some of them begging, saying they had thought it a joke until they Googled “rabbit poop” and found out what great fertilizer it it…..some literally begging and offering to come way out to West to get it….lol

        I now have a long list of people I can recycle to and it was fun to help out some gardeners.

        Edited to add:  hhmmmm, if I had half a brain, I would have let them come out and clean the litter boxes themselves to get the goodies!

          hehe, you have the goods!
          I compost mine and I fertilize my timothy grass patch with it so my rabbits end up benefitting from their own ‘production’.

            OH that’s funny. I guess it’s a good way to become popular – offer free poop :~)

              yeah, Petzy, it funny how much bunnies input looks just like their output. I fertilized all my flower beds and shrubs and they’ve gone crazy this spring. I wish I could grow some crop for them like you, but 90% of my yard is heavily shaded from the pecan trees.

                lol… too funny. now if your thread had said ‘dogs’ were fighting over the poo i would not have even batted an eye!

                i have a large plastic garbage bin outside that i dump the pee / poo / hay / yesterdays news into. just started it last year when i learned how good it all is for composting. and since the soil at my place is clay i can use all the help i can get. how lucky are we all to have buns for pets when their waste is golden?

                  pecan trees? Oh, I want those. Do you get real pecan nuts from them?

                    oh yea, lots and lots of pecans. Not the real big ones, these are natives but they’re big enough to crack easily. Bad part is, the first couple of times you mow the yard in spring, it’s like a machine gun firing all the pecans that were hiding in the grass.

                        I have been spreading some rabbit manure in my yard where the downspouts exit and water the ground. Since the weather has been unusually warm here, even our lake is breaking up two months earlier this year, grass has already begun to grow in that fertilized spot. It has only turned green in that spot. My rabbits were eating their first serving yesterday. The rabbit manure works great and requires no further preparations. I can totally see why the people were fighting over it.

                            I use PepperPoo in my container garden and have the best plants in the building! I don’t compost – i live in a 3rd floor condo and I’m afraid of worms.

                            But we just got a grant from the local garden group towards improving the parkway in front of the building. We’re going to have to add “soil amendments”, like “organic matter, fertilizer, etc”. Well, sawdust and hay are organic matter! And bunny poo is great 3-2-1 fertilizer – it’s VERY high in nitrogen. A little web searching says that spreading it on a tarp in the sun for a few hours will evaporate most of the ammonia….

                            Now, I’m sure Pepper will do her best, but that’s a couple hundred square feet and she’s only 6.5 lbs. So I dropped an e-mail to the rabbit adoption coordinator at Red Door Shelter (where Pepper came from) and asked if I could conscript the shelter buns into “Pooping for Plants”. They said no problem, and I’ll also be getting some cards this weekend at an adoption event I’m working to take to the garden club meeting where we get our grant money. They’ll appreciate the “raw material”, the shelter will be greener, and maybe a couple of the gardeners will decide they need their own little fertilizer machine….
