Default Using pet rabbit manure as compost

I have a large cage of 12 rabbits, who spend a good deal of time
pooping. The dirty soil and hay mixture needs to be turned out every
once in a while, and I wondered if this manure/soil/hay mixture could
be used as an enriching compost for my herb garden. Would the pH of
the manure, diluted with potting soil, be suitable for herbs?


The local ag station, which is highly regarded, tests find that rabbit
manure composted is even better than chicken manure, which is pretty
darn good.
as everybody says, compost it first is the best idea.
