Double L Rare Breeds Rabbitry

Buckles and Bunnies happening again in 2026!!! Jacksonville,Tx on the last Sunday in February!

This has been a wonderful adventure for us. Now that the major shows have gone past, and county is our only remaining show, it is time to wave goodbye to the rabbitry for now. Thanks to everyone who has loved Elvis, and all of our other buns, as much as we do.

This is a repost of a post that we had posted around a year ago but a local 4-H club asked me if I could post it again and share the information to them. So here it is, the 💩 post.

How well do you know 🐇 💩?

As I was cleaning the rabbitry today and dumping the manure in the potato 🥔 patch I thought that rabbit manure would be a good topic to talk about.

1- Fresh rabbit manure is approximately 2% Nitrogen, 1% Phosphorus, and 1% Potassium.

2- Here is how it stacks up in comparison to manure from other livestock.
Rabbit 🐇 = N- 2.4 P- 1.4 K- .80
Chicken 🐔 =N- 1.1 P-.80 K- .50
Sheep 🐑 =N- .70 P- .30 K-.60
Horse 🐎 =N- .70 P-.30 K- .60
Cattle 🐄 =N- .70 P-.30 K-.40

3. Those other manures are considered "hot" 🔥 manure and need to be composted before use, but rabbit manure is considered "cold" 🥶 and can go directly into use.

4. Rabbit manure is an organic matter then when worked into the soil will improve poor soil structure, drainage, as well as moisture retention 💧.

5. Worms 🪱 love rabbit manure, and the more worms in your garden and around your plants the better off your soil conditions will be.

6. It doesn't have the same aroma 🤢 as other fresh manures which if you live in town will make your neighbors happier. Plus as it's in round pellet 🟤 form it's easier to handle than other loose manures.

7. It contains beneficial trace elements such as Calcium, Magnesium, Boron, Zinc, Sulfur, and many others that all plants 🪴 need.

8. The extra Nitrogen in rabbit manure makes it a great kickstart 🦵 to get a new compost pile going.

9. It makes a great tea 🍵 to use to water plants with as well. Dump some manure in the bottom of a pail 🪣 add water 💧 and let it steep for a couple days. Pour the water off and use that to water 🚿 your plants.

10. Rabbits 🐇 are darn cute and easy to care for even in a small city 🏙 yard so you can have a year round source of fresh natural fertilizer.

Sweet Molly is ready to pop. Looking so forward to these velvies!
