In a nutshell, I have lots and lots of juvenile worms now. Just waiting for them to grow up so the system will start working a little faster! Anyway, I'll try to get a proper update up soon B Hi Michael,

They usually pick one area to use as their spot. The droppings in that area I usually mix it into the bedding to dilute the ammonia somewhat. That is one thing that a rabbit can control.

I just assumed that the pellets would naturally get mixed with the urine. I haven't heard of a 'rabbit urinating area' before. Ya learn something new every day, I tell ya! ;-) Interesting.

Pure fresh droppings are not harmful to the worms unless it is attained from the rabbits urinating area. It is the ammonia in the urine that is harmfull to the worms. Bentley,

I haven't decided on a set length of time, but I was thinking at least a few months (probably more). However long you can participate would be great! I'd definitely be very interested to see how well they do in the rabbit droppings. I was under the impression that pure (fresh) droppings would be harmful for the worms. Anyway, this is going to be fun! 8) Hey Vermiman!

I can start simular experiments with ENCs and EFs in ice cream buckets using pure rabbit droppings as bedding. What will be the length of this experiment?

Would be interesting to see what happens in different system and with different food (as long as only 4 worms are used to start). B. Great idea, Jeff! :-)
