Bunny Fertilizer

Look at these adorable baby bunnies! Now try cropping the picture so that there is no visible poop. Uh huh, not so easy. I'm convinced they do this on purpose. Bunny sabotage.

So we have covered dealing with bunny pee extensively in another article.  What about bunny poop?  That's a much easier subject, and while not particularly pleasant, definitely not without practical benefit.  

Let's be honest.  Bunnies are prolific at poop production.  I remember how shocked I was with our first bunny.  I would put him in the pen to play, and five minutes later, no less than 20 pieces of poop would be scattered all over the floor of the pen.  Of course the kits are worse.  They seem to eat and poop concurrently.  It's only as grown juniors that true litter training is achieved.  Cleaning this up can be a real drag, but there is an upside:

Bunny Poop is Fantastic Fertilizer

You know how farmers spread cow or horse manure on their fields?  Well, it doesn't even begin to compare.  Bunny Poop is:

Where would I use this?       Vegetable gardens, herb gardens, flowers gardens

How would I do it?      Compost and allow it to break down, then add to garden soil.   Or, add some to a burlap or muslin bag and drop it into water to steep like brewing tea.  Poor the "brewed" mixture into your soil.  Or, add a handful to the holes you dig for flowers.

Alternately, sell it and make money.  A gallon bag goes for about $10.

So, go put that bunny poop to good use!
