I have some plants that sit on the windowsill in my kitchen, four succulents and a flowering plant (though he's just leaves not lol) and it was suggested that I give them some fertilizer, so I want to use my rabbits' droppings.
Is there a certain rabbit I would use the dropping from?


Here's some pictures of the plants

Rabbit droppings aren't "hot" so they won't "burn" the roots. You could toss a handful in the top of each pot if you wanted, but that may not be the aesthetic you are looking for in a house plant... so it you want to go a more subtle path, put a handful in a bottle (or other container) of water and let it sit until they break down and then water with that bottle of water.

Most fertilizers have a good bit of salt in them that over time will build up in the soil (and I'm going to assume since rabbits can eat salt that their droppings are no different) so I would do a batch of the manure water, then next watering I would water them with just plain water and water them until the water runs out of the bottom of the pot and drains freely, then you can do another batch of the manure water.

If the manure water isn't all used up in 1 watering, that's fine, just store it somewhere dark so it doesn't start growing algae and use it again next watering until it is gone.

I went ahead and crush some up and put it on the top of the dirt and watered them, but I'll keep this in mind

I just put a layer on top, scratched them in a little. You can cover them with used coffee grounds. Also a good fertilizer. When I clean out the press I just add some water and water plants with it.
