ROTFL that is toooooo funny!! I’ve found poopies in my purse before…Maybe this is a common bunny talent!!

My, my, we do go on about poop…lol. You gotta be comftorable with poop if you wanna be a bunny mummy!!!

I actually pick it up with bare hands now, and when it gets stuck between bare toes, no worries! I’ve come along way…

I like to every so often grab a raisin and pretend its a poop then toss it at Dave-he’s not comfortable enough with poo to appreciate the humour hahehe

Since getting Holly, we have found one or two droppings in places she hasn’t been in too. Hmmm.

I know what you mean about being comfortable about poop.  At Christmas time, we had to make some butter ball cookies.  For some reason, we started calling poop "bunny balls".

It’s a real good thing that bunny poop is generally small (K&K’s latest masterpiece from Rupert notwithstanding), hard (i.e., won’t smear), doesn’t smell much, and therefore relatively inoffensive. Scooter picks them up with hands, and is pretty blase about finding them in odd places. Annette still gets a Kleenex.

We’ve heard that bunny droppings make excellent fertilizer, and that is currently a source of disagreement. Scooter thinks it should be used, and Annette doesn’t want the stuff anywhere near her garden. Which is an academic point right now, because it’s -30 C out and the garden’s under a foot of snow….

i hope they’re good fertilizer… i’m now dumping all poopies in a designated garbage bin outside & plan to turn them into my backyard garden in the spring.  nothing can hurt this garden… the soil here is naturally very clay-like.  i hope shade plants like bunny poops because thats what’s getting planted there!

i’ve found bunny poops in wierd places too.  i just shrugged it off as having been kicked there inadvertantly but i like the teleporting theory better!  lol. 

was at a friend’s once and his then 2 1/2 yr old nephew walked upto him with a bunny poop and asked "whassat?"  he took it in his fingers looking at it with a puzzled face, sniffed it and then simultaneously threw his head back and stuck his arm out in disgust to get the poop as far away from his face as possible.  baaa hahaha!  i had a good laugh at that one.  especially since the poop must come from me some how. 

Poop belongs in the garden.  Really, it does.  If the fact that it is manure is icky to you, you can always compost it first.  I consider it a crme against nature to waste all of that lovely organic matter.  I even bring home the bags of poop from our adoption shows when we clean out the litter boxes and the hay baskets.  Yeah, well, I am a little nuts with composting too though.  I also bring home ginormous bags of coffee grounds from Starbucks to compost.

It is funny how desensitized to bunny poop you get after having them for a while.  One of the things that I do at the adoption shows is clean up the pens.  As you might imagine, having 15+ rabbits in a strange place right next to each other results in lots of poops.  For the most part I don’t even mess with the dustpan anymore, I just pick them up and toss them in the nearest litterbox.  I do get strange looks from the people looking at the rabbits sometimes.

I can’t believe this conversation this is hilarious. and about poo too we are likes with their gas jokes lol

yeah I found some on my kitchen table and no idea how they got there. and yes I just pick them up and toss or sweep depending on how much and if litter is on the floor. I find them in my couch sometimes they have gotten better at not leaving them there

and as I am going on cotton is doing funny racing circles on the new couch I am glad somebunny likes it it is hilarious the cecals I call squishy poops I use a paper towel no way around that one pewww

oh I found a bag of candy in the freezer I look inside and it looked like bunny poo I went up to hubby and asked are you now freezing the bunny poo we had a good laugh but it was actually candy tasted good too

Lol! PuffyTail, you’re right, you do have to be comfortable with poops to be a bunny mommy.

The other day I found a poop on the table (no idea how it got there, maybe Henri is learning this teleporting technique too!) I picked it up, looked at Matt and seriously said “It’s a good thing we don’t have kids right now, one of them might be likely to pick up a stray bunny poop and pop it in their mouth thinking it’s a cocoa puff!” Matt looked at me like I was crazy of course (I can’t blame him, that was a pretty crazy thought) but we had a good laugh about it.

projectile poopies?

Hahaha, men are funny!!  Mine’s the same, he gags at cat poop, and screams like a girl if he sees me pick up a stray poopsie with my UNgloved fingers, yet will be horrified if i told him i would prefer NOT to have a cuppa t if he’s made it as not 5 minutes prior i watched him scratch his *huh hums* and has not washed his hands in the meantime, and will happily clean up his niece’s not so little accident (i gag just thinking of it there, bright yellow, all up her back and on her clothes with a lone kernel of sweetcorn that got stuck on his thumb mid clean up, and all in full view of other picnickers and day outers on the banks of the not so lovely Thames not so long ago)…..I had to walk away or i would have been very ill, and NO it wouldn’t make ANY difference it were "my own"…yeurgh!!!

I’ve also found a poop in one of my boots (kept upturned!), i’d been wearing it all day & only noticed when i’d taken my boot off later on in the day!!  Poopsie Pinball!

I was actually gonna post about bunny poop fertilizer. Man, Stormy and Bindi could make me a small fortune. Let’s see…about 100 poops a day each…

Seriously, though I read that it’s great fertilizer for your lawn and garden so I am planning on getting a bucket and starting to collect it for the Spring. What do you do to compost it?

AHHHH HAHAHAHAH If people thought we were crazy bunny folk before….Well composting our bunny poo, is going to fix that!! LOL we live in an apartment so I don’t think I’ll do this, but I’m gonna go home and tell Dave I wll be collecting bunny poo for compost to see what he says!!! He’ll probably make a break for the door! HAHAHA

Composting can be as simple as making a pile someplace out of the way and letting nature take it’s course, or more complicated with turning and watering the pile to make it decompose faster.  Either method produces the same good stuff for your garden, it is just that one goes more quickly.  I compost the litter box contents including the litter pellets, as well as the hay that does not get eaten.  I also compost most of my fall leaves and grass clippings, as well as occasional coffee grounds from Starbucks.  I use cylindrical bins made of cheap wire fencing (this keeps the piles looking neater) and I turn the piles every few months.  I usually have two piles going at once, once for new stuff, and one that is finishing.  There are a lot of good resources on the web about home composting, here is one from The University of Illinois that is informative and easy to read http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/compost/

I wish I could remember where I read it, but it seems I saw where rabbit poop can be applied as it is without composting. That it’s not as strong as other manures and won’t burn the plants. I’ve been just throwing it around mine and the roses love it.

You are right, rabbit manure does not have to be composted first, it can be safely added right into your planting beds.  There are "hot" manures that contain a lot of nitrogen and must be composted, or they will burn your plants.  Horse, cow, pig, chicken manures are all too hot to use directly in the garden, and must be composted first.  "Cool" manures include rabbit, llama and goat, which can be used directly, but I compost mine anyway to help decompose the litter and hay.

They have an added advantage over horse poo, too. One year my dad came to the barn and got a load of my horse’s poop for his garden, being very old and not having many teeth (my dad and my horse come to think of it) the grain and seeds would pass right through my mare’s system untouched. So my dad got a whole crop of plants he didnt’ expect or want…lol

i recognize that germs exist, but i’m not a crazy germophobe like some people. 

the funniest thing is when i pick up a stray poo and then pick something else up and hand it to MIke.  the look on his face that i did not immediately sterilize my hands…  i just shrug.

when I was in 6 grade my teacher ask why my moms yard looked so good I was so embarrassed to say shoot in front of the class I kept evading the answer til I finally said rabbit shoot. the whole class cracked up I was so embarrassed . even the teacher laughed.
