Don't throw away that Rabbit dung

Are you looking for an organic, small round, pelleted form of fertilizer? Look no further than a pet rabbit or two. Fresh rabbit manure is approximately 2 percent nitrogen, 1 percent phosphorus and 1 percent potassium. Use it fresh, straight from under the hutch. It does not burn plants. Use the pellets to topdress your lawn, mulch roses, vegetables, flower beds and ornamental plantings, or supercharge your compost pile and create an earthworm heaven.
Rabbit manure are dry and odorless. Because it is a “cold” manure it can be applied directly to plants as a top dressing without the risk of burning them.
Rabbit manure is one of the highest in Nitrogen (essential for leaf growth & photosynthesis); Phosphorus (which aids in the overall development of the plant roots and flowers); and Potash (which is what makes the plants healthier overall) is on par with cow manure.
Here are a few facts about rabbit manure:
Rabbit manure has four times more nutrients than cow or horse manure and is twice as rich as chicken manure. Cow, horse and chicken manure are considered “hot” and need to be composted (well-rotted) to use as fertilizers.
One of the best things about rabbit manure is it doesn’t need to be composted.
Rabbit manure is organic matter and improves poor soil structure, drainage and moisture retention.
It improves the life cycle of microorganisms in the soil.
Worms love rabbit manure.
It is not as smelly as other manures and is easy to handle.
One doe and her offspring can produce a ton of manure in one year. That’s a lot of bunny honey.
Rabbit manure is packed with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, minerals and micronutrients.
It contains beneficial trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, boron, zinc, manganese, sulfur, copper and cobalt, just to name a few.
Nitrogen (N). Rabbit manure is higher in nitrogen than sheep, goat, chicken, cow or horse manure. Plants need nitrogen to produce strong green growth.
Phosphorus (P). Rabbit manure is also higher in phosphorus than the other manures. It helps with the transformation of solar energy to chemical energy. Phosphorus also helps plants to withstand stress and contributes to more and bigger blossoms, and is great for root growth.
Potassium (K). Potassium helps with fruit quality and reducing disease; plants will not grow without it.
