Why do they say rabbit manure is so much better for gardens than other kinds of farm manure?

Answer 1

Bunny poops are like Power Pellets for the garden. They might look like chocolate chips or even Raisinettes, but don't ever eat one because they really do taste like poop.

I put lots of bunny poops on the garden and it keeps wild bunnies from harassing the veggies too.

Answer 2

The best in the world is from worms ,then horses ,cows ,rabbits is good because it is mild
all animal manure from herbivores is good ,
chicken is very strong and acidic and should lay for a few years and you mix it with soil ,sawdust,sand or what ever at least 50 /50

Answer 3

There are several reasons:

1.) It is very low in acidity. Manures like chicken manure are high in acidity. Due to being low in acidity it will not burn your plants like many other manures do.

2.) It is very high in nitrogen.

3.) Since domestic rabbits eat rabbit pellets and don't graze like cattle and horses do, they don't get weed seeds in their manure like cattle and horses do.

4.) Since rabbit manure comes in small round pellets, it makes it very easy to spread and till into a garden.

5.) Rabbit manure works great for raising redworms. Many rabbit breeders raise redworms in the manure beneath their rabbit cages and sell the worms to help pay for the rabbit feed. The remains from after the worms have used the rabbit manure makes about the best potting soil you can get for African violets.

6.) It really makes tomatoes grow. The world's largest tomato was grown using rabbit manure to help fertilize it. I use it on my tomato plants and they get about 2-3 times the size my neighbors do.

7.) Due to the way rabbit feed is nutritionally balanced for the rabbit, it provides many micro-minerals and micro-nutrients that the soil also needs.

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but I've seen it work. My mom moved into a house where they had had several pet rabbits in their backyard. She planted a small garden with okra, cucumbers, squash and a few other things. Those vegetables grew so large and so fast we couldn't believe it! If you've got any sitting around, it certainly won't hurt to use it.

Answer 5

The rabbit pellets are excellent as fertilizer, they do not burn the roots of the plants.

You can also box it in and start a worm bed, which are wonderful for aeration and really help the soil..
Most fertilizers will burn young plants if not mixed properly, I actually prefer the pellets....good question

Answer 6

I imagine it is because they are vegetarians AND their pellets are low in acid. I haven't researched rabbits in particular, but I have looked into this generally, as I compost for my garden.

Answer 7

I have never heard that, and am not sure if it is true. one of the biggest problems with Bunnie poo is that in its pellet form it does not disperse easy.
