Rabbit muck every where .

[Ivanhoe]

Having bought a 2 bunnies for our grandson last year and now as per usual with grand kids the novelty has wore off we are left with two bunnies .
To make matters worse these bunnies which we was assured were two doe's turned out to be a buck and a doe .
You can guess the rest .
The problem is not the amount of baby bunnies we have that problem has been cured by a good contact at a local farmers general auction good job 29 babies since late oct takes some feeding.
My problem is the amount of muck straw dropping that they produce .
I have sectioned of a area and build wooden framed slatted box type structure 4ft x 4ft x 4ft made out of pressure treated wooden window sills .
My question is what should i do next to make best use of my bunny poo and can i make good quality compost out of this ?
Should i add anything else to it and do i cover or not ?
This is my first attempt at composting so a idiots guide to it would be fantastic .

Add it all to your normal compost heap or dalek. It won't take long before it's compost

Bunny poo is fine to compost, as is the straw and any newspaper if you use that to line the cage. The general rule with composting poo (unless you have a hot composter) is that if the animal is vegetarian its fine, if it eats meat don't risk it. I wouldn't compost human poo though even if the person was a vegetarian, due to risk of disease.

Rabbit hutch cleanings make excellent compost very quickly. We're lucky enough to collect it from a guy who breeds for shows. It really does benefit from turning though so can be hard work.

When I had a lot of Rabbits I used to put the heavily soiled bedding on the compost heap and use the cleaner stuff as mulch. I found that if you bed with straw and put it all on the compost heap it acts as thatch and doesn’t let the water penitrate the heap.

How often should i be looking to turn my heap ?

[roitelet]

I only turn once but I do have 7x1m cube ones so I can leave them to rot for ages.

Monthly is not too onerous and does produce a good manure/compost, I am considering getting a couple of guinea pigs, my compost was so much better with some manure added.
