Now is the time to sell your "bunny berries"!
Over the past week, I have made a little over $100 selling bagged rabbit manure to gardeners. 
If any of you wants to do the same, feel free to copy any of the text from my ad!
http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/grd/4919088549.html
Rabbit Manure- GOLD for your garden!!!
Rabbit manure bagged and ready to apply to your garden. Looks great as a mulch, and is nature's best "time released" fertilizer!
Delivery to Bakersfield or Tehachapi is available. Next scheduled delivery date for Tehachapi is Friday March 20th.
******INTRODUCTORY OFFER!!! 5 OR MORE BAGS FOR $5 EACH!!!******
Warning: once you start feeding your garden with "Bunny Berries" you will never go back to commercial fertilizer. Highly sought after by Rose growers!
Bagged in 50lb feed sacks by volume, not weight.
1 bag $9.00
5 bags $35.00 ***SAVE $10.00!***
10 bags $60.00 ***SAVE $30.00!***
20 bags $100 ***SAVE $80.00!***
Unlike chicken, steer or horse manure, rabbit manure is a cold manure. There is no need to compost it before applying to your plants.
It slowly disintegrates, releasing the nutrients back into the soil for your plants to use. In the meantime, the remaining "bunny-berry" helps build the structure of your soil by adding stability, porosity and attracting beneficial organisms to the area.
Rabbit manure is higher in nitrogen than sheep, goat, pig, chicken, cow or horse manure. Plants need nitrogen to produce lush, green growth.
How common manures measure up N-P-K
Rabbit 2.4 1.4 .60
Chicken 1.1 .80 .50
Dairy cow .25 .15 .25
Horse .70 .30 .60
Steer .70 .30 .40
Sheep .70 .30 .90

I think that means you need more rabbits.

No problem. Bumping the price up for smaller quantities and then offering the "Introductory Offer" seems to have created a bit of a frenzy.

Re: Now is the time to sell your "bunny berries"!
Ah, well, with only five, you need to keep those bunny berries for yourself! $5 bucks a bag is a steal of a deal, in my opinion.
If I didn't generate a bag or two a day, I wouldn't be selling the stuff for any price.

Re: Now is the time to sell your "bunny berries"!
Maybe a little off topic but do you use the berries with the hay mixed in??We use Bermuda grass hay and no matter how we feed it ends up on the ground with the berries..

Re: Now is the time to sell your "bunny berries"!
I separate out the large pieces of Timothy and put them in a garbage can, the berries and small pieces I put directly on the plants and then use the large pieces as weed choke.

Bermuda grass is the essence of evil.

Re: Now is the time to sell your "bunny berries"!
Just a thought MSD, but have you considered going to local nurseries and wholesaling the berries? There is a local guy near us who wants ours, but we are expanding our gardens this year and don't want to run out. Once that's finished, I am thinking of going to him and a local feed store and see what happens.

Re: Now is the time to sell your "bunny berries"!
I just have to brag a little! 
In the past two days I have netted $205 in bunny berry sales!
One guy yesterday bought 31 of the 36 bags I was able to stuff into my little cargo trailer! He would have taken all of it, but 5 bags were spoken for already.
I am so pleased- I now have $240 bucks set aside from bunny berry sales alone to go toward my next purchase of rabbit feed! I buy one ton at a time at $440, and have barely made a dent in my last ton. I fully expect to cover my feed costs and have profit above and beyond!!!
So- if you haven't started selling your "extra" rabbit poop yet,

Re: Now is the time to sell your "bunny berries"!
This is awesome and so kind of you to share your ad and how you go about it!!
I don't have enough bunny berries to make out like that though, wow.
This is definitely worth considering for sure for those that have a place to store it.
Do you bag it up all year round or just when close to spring?
Does it get sifted and go directly into those bags or do you dry it out a bit first or anything?

Thank you! I must admit, I am just gloating with pride here!

And in the same bag, too! How funny is that?!?
WhWRabbitry wrote:Do you bag it up all year round or just when close to spring?
All year. That's how I amassed all of these bags to sell for spring planting- bagged it up over winter.
WhWRabbitry wrote:Does it get sifted and go directly into those bags or do you dry it out a bit first or anything?
I use slant boards, not pans, so most of it stays dry. I just sweep the bunny berries out from underneath the cages and put it directly into the bags. I avoid the "pee spots" and have been using that here in our beds- but I am thinking that if I rake those areas and just reposition the pile of bunny berries to an area that doesn't get peed on it will be dry enough a few days later when I bag up the next round.
