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?


Never apply fresh manure after the garden is planted. I've used it 2
months before planting and have had no problems. Hot composted
manure/hay mixture is no problem at anytime.
