Rabbit manure is very high in nitrogen. Rabbit--2.4% Nitrogen compared to 0.57% for Cow manure. But should be alright composted

Yea Carrie, Bunny poop is GREAT, at one time I had about 200 of the little things. Every weekend it went straight from the pens to the garden. I had a heck of a garden when I was raising rabbits.........Paul

There's a lab close by that does tests on wabbits. You think I should stay away from laboratory manure of any kind? They have tons for the taking.
