  Well, we have an annual science fair at our school..and I wanted something to do with my bunny Jingles. It has to be a experiment, and I don’t want to do anything that would harm my bunny in any way. I thought it would be a cute, idea since not many people in my area know anything about bunnies. I think it would turm out really cute..if any one has any ideas on what to do. Thanks.

  Well you could do something on diet and talk about the cecum, etc…or something about why rabbit poop makes good organic fertilizer. You could just use Jingles photo’s or something to show him off.

  If you used the poop as fertilizer you could plant two of the same plants in two separate pots. In one add bunny poop, and in the other do not. Then maybe take pictures of the daily/weekly process and how it grew, if one grew taller or greener or something. Then have the plants their at the fair. Just a thought.

  A science experiment about Bunny Input and OutPut, sounds perfect! You’ll be surprised how plants supplied with poop grow like crazy.

  I did an experiment on my bunny, Thumper. I built a maze and then I tested her at Morning, Noon, and Night forwards and Backwards to see when Thumper completed the Maze faster and slower.

  I did something similar for my science fair project years ago, not with rabbit poop but with different types of growing conditions and geraniums. Do you have enough time to do something like that? Geraniums are very hardy so they make a good plant for something like this. Maybe do a plant with bun poop, a plant with commercial fertilizer (Miracle-Gro or something), and a plant with nothing added. Then you can take some cute pics of the bunny next to the plants for your presentation.
  
  I probably wouldn’t do anything with diet, buns are so sensitive to diet changes…

  You could talk about what is in bunny poop and why it makes a good fertilizer. That way you have some more info to display.

  What if did something like how does the amount of playtime affect how much your bunny eats?

  hi shadow!
  
  This thread is really old, and we ask members not to revive really old threads.
  
  Your suggestion is nice though, it would be good for a science fair project.

  If I tried that with Clover, she’d sit at the end of it and look at me like, “You’re kidding right?”
