I have a bunny and I use yesterday's news for his litter and he is litter box trained. I know on the bunny forums, people talk about using the litter in their yards. Yay or nay? I guess if anything else, I could put it in a compost pile? |

I think bunny pooh should be ok if you compost it. I know it's ok if you don't. I have lots of outside bunnies and see pellets from time to time. |

When I was a kid, I had bunnies. Lots of them. Started out with two, and you know rabbits.  My dad would spread the "rabbit raisins" on the garden and till them under every spring. Always had a nice garden. I think most herbivores poo would be ok. |

Bunny pellets are fine to use in the garden. We used to raise bunnies and we just spread them out in the veggie garden and tilled them in. Also made ''pellet tea'' for plants as well. |

you are not supposed to put cat/dog manure in the garden because of the worms that they may carry. Rabbit is fine. When I had rabbits we would put manure into compost during the summer and in winter spread it right onto the garden.

I know I am a little late with this reply, but I had to because I see a lot of people talking about farm animal manure. I have always been taught that any animal that is carniverous should not have there poop spread in the garden. The whole idea of green fertilizing is the green factor. If the animal eats nothing more than green matter, such as horses, cows, or rabbits than there litter is ok to use. If an animal eats any kind of meat you should not use there litter. Worms that they can carry or diseases that the other animal might have had can be transferred to your vegetables. Remember the salminella (sp) scare for all the lettuce last year? Wasn't this due to the water that was used to water the plants being tainted with sewer water? Dogs, Cats, even chickens are carniverous animals. Stop me if I am being a pest, but this is a really special subject to me. Composting is the most important thing you can do for your garden, its the most natural way. I hope I haven't offended anyone. Kris |

Hello.  I have a cousin that is totaly organic, lives in Hawaii. I get the best info from him. I told him one day I was going to get a bunny , my compost pile was not heating up,but I was not crazy about feeding and cleaning up after him in the winter. He said just go bye the rabbit food and spead them on you beds. Eliminate the middle man LOL I have been doing that for 2 years now. I just spead the pellets in the spring after I clean my beds. It is awesome. My plants are happy!!!

well if the concern for cat litter is worms. If you cat's been wormed and has lived inside the house, never goes outside for a year or more then I would think the cat litter would be fine for composting too. that is also assuming that you're using a woodchip liter and not one of those dusty chemical clay commercial litters. i've got 5 cats, if I composted the kitty litter that would be 90 percent of my compost! lol |
