    Guinea pig poo is absolutely the best for adding to compost heaps.  When I worked a colleague kept show cavies - every week she would bring me a bin bag half full of the contents of their runs - my compost was brilliant and was 'made' very quickly.

    What do you use it for?

    Streetlife?  All sorts of things - local clubs and societies use it as a notice board.  It has a Lost & Found section, ours has rehomed dogs, cats and an engagement ring recently.  We advertised a bike in need of lots of refurbishment and a grandfather came and took it home to do it up for his grandson.  It's also a way of finding recommended local tradesmen.  The council advertise planning applications in our area and the community police use it to let us know what they're up to in the area.

    It's a national website, but divided into small areas, like villages or small areas of postcode.  Absolutely brilliant. image

    My colleague used to keep a specialist type of cavie called Skinny pigs - they're hairless and have to live indoors with their owners

    a friend of mine has one of those Sphinx naked cats. It looks the very personification of evil.

    Perhaps I should have been a trifle more precise in my question.

    What's so special about rabbit droppings?

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    My Guinea Pig (Bryony) produces loads of activator for my compost bins. I stew it with water in a bucket for a few days and then gently drizzle it over the top of the heap!

    Lovely!image

    Thanks Hosta. Wondered if it was some niche addative

    Rabbit, guinea pig and goat droppings are particularly high in nitrogen and very good for making compost image
