I know where some good cow dook is but for rabbits maybe you want to try a petting zoo. One I can think of with alot of rabbits is Noah's Ark. Maybe a rabbit breeder?

cdbicdb, you asked exactly what I was wondering also. So I searched a little and found that it can be used as fertilizer. It seems that it can be applied directly to the plants without burning them.

Well if you have a dump truck, I have several ton of horse manure composting in the pile.

Yeah, I'm still waiting to read that one, too. Other than the fact my dogs eat it thinking it's M&Ms, I'm not aware of any properties Rabbit poop has that cow or horse stuff doesn't - but willing to learn if anyone knows the answer. I know landscapers from Atlanta to Chattanooga and have never heard any of them talk about it or where to get it if you did want it, etc.

Probably the only thing better than a mix of bunny poo and worm castings would be worm castings made from bunny poo.

Start down that road and be prepared for an in depth learning experience of the micro-biology of the soil. It evolves around worm castings, the mycorrhizal fungi in the soil/root system interface. It is actually quite interesting, and is almost indispensable knowledge if you're gonna maximize the yields of your favorite herbage.
Bunny poo is also great because of the bunny's diet of alfalfa. When a bunny digests alfalfa, the resulting poo is high in Triacontanol, a growth stimulator. Enhances cell division, etc.
Vermi-compost (worm poo) and rabbit poo are considered to be one of the best soil amendments, second only to vermi-composted rabbit poo. (Where the worms go to work on the rabbit poo. Worms are an integral part of the microbial system, and actually enhance the NPK of the medium they are composting.
WHEW!! Yeah, just read up on it. I'd bet that landscapers who cater to the really high end clientelle know about this!!
