Is this true?

Hi!

I heard that you can stick a Bunny poop in the gravel around your plants roots for the plant to use as fertilizer. Do any of you know if this is true?

Never heard of that ever. Cannot imagine putting bunny waste in a fisht ank would be too good for it.

Hi!

I read it in a very good aquarium book. (From the library - I've forgotten the title)

This was a method used years ago, before commercial aquatic plant fertilizers were on the market.

Some people still use this method.

I would not.

Rabbits are one of the few animals that eat their own poo... they do this because they cannot get all of the nutrients out of the food on the first pass, and so running things through for a second pass helps them out.

I wonder it you're supposed to use 1st poo or second poo?

LOL, this is a fun topic...

Hi!

I know about bunnies eating their poop. We have 2.

I don't think I'll use it - I prefer TetraPlant anyday! Thanks for that Dino.

if it would work Id have fertilizer for life! Did you know that rabbits, like horses, are not capable of vomiting? their mucsles are 'one way'. this is why fur balls can be deadly.

i dont think rabbit poo is a very good fertilizer, proper substrate is the answer. flourite, clay litter[provided there are no additives]. and i personally swear by black water planted substate[commercially available]. with the use of most of these products and proper water changes [to replace trace elements] no plant fert will be necessary. the second requirement is proper lighting for the proper time. im new here but will soon post picts of a few of my tanks. none are ever fertilized.
