Elephant dung

[veggiechicken]

Bought some Elephant poo-per when we visited the elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka: Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Still have it in our wedding memory box.

Been there too. What a fantastic place. Fed the baby elephants with a gigantic bottle of milk. They are so appealing with their long eyelashes. I bought a T-shirt which was easy to pack - how did you manage with a wheelbarrow full of dung?

I think it's marketed under the name, "ZOO POOH" - and considering there is a large and inexhaustive supply, it's quite expensive from garden centres - probably because it's been rotted and sieved for you. However, if you do have a Zoo locally, it might well be worth approaching them with a wheel barrow in hand!

Sod the wheel barrow, I'd be renting a van

well, if you can use any herbivore dung, I dont see why you cant use that too Looks more or less like horse poo except not in neat little lumps, more like neat big lumps.
The cotswold wildlife park isn't that far away actually.....

They had notepads made from it on QI on an "elephant in the room" challenge a few series back (none of the panel got the extra points for spotting it )
