Theere are people who sell worm castings, if you look on line. I suggest that you use the worm castings for pots and raise some delicacies in pots for your rabbits. I once had rabbits and grew a sage bush next to the hutches; the rabbits loved sage. In addition to rabbit pellets I fed them carrots, lettuce and other greens from my garden.

You might check with a local garden club or any avid gardeners in your neighborhood. There will be people who would love that stuff for their compost piles, and you might get some lovely fresh veggies in return.

whoops, sorry, thought this was the soil forum. apologies!

Thanks CharlieBoring and hoovb!

My daughter gave me a worm factory for Christmas and I put it together and placed bedding and food in the feeding tray in anticipation of the arrival of my worm herd of 1,000 red wrigglers. Should arrive in 1-3 days. By spring I should have about 3 gallons of worm castings for my plants.

Rabbit litter is excellent for compost piles and to put straight into the garden. Their waste is not as "hot" as other manures and can be used without composting. Let your local garden club or the local office of Virginia Cooperative Extension know you have it to give away or sell and I'm sure you will find someone more than willing to take it off your hands!

I could realy use some of your rabbit poop. My 1000 head worm herd from Uncle Jims arrived yesterday. We were not at home and the high temperature for the day was 21 degrees with a wind chill at 0 degrees. The box was left in the mail box. I was sorely afraid for the herd. I took the box to my basement; opened it and found inside of the paper and bubblewrap a green felt draw-string bag tied at the top. Inside the bag, there was a mass of worms and ground coconut husks. The worms did not move much, but when I emptied them into the feeding tray of the worm factory, some started to wiggle. I covered the worms with some damp shredded newspaper. I have had food in the tray for over a week since I expected the worms a week earlier. I hope the vegetable and fruit scraps are ready to feed the herd. I will not look at the worms to see how they are doing until Friday, since I want them to get used to their new home. I placed another empty tray on top of the feeding tray and place the top on that tray. Left the light on all night to prevent excape attempts. This morning I had to fight the temptation to take a peek!
