Rabbit Manure - Storing and safety

[JG3]

How do you store your rabbit manure until you’re ready to use it? Not feed bags are we won’t have any once we are fully naturally feeding.

Also, if the rabbits were recently treated with ivermectin, is there any reason to not use the manure? Will that come through and kill any microbes in the soil of gardens, etc? Or am I safe to use it right away?

Thanks!

Mine goes into a compost bin. I've never seen a problem with ivermectin in waste, possibly because it gets well mixed with other compost before using? And generally it's not like you are using a whole lot of over time right?

Good to know. The rabbitry we bought them from just gave them a shot of it before leaving with us, just a thing they do when they sell rabbits. We won’t be mixing it with other compost, but just working it into our gardens.
