Hi there, curious why it has to be guinea pig poo, I used to keep chickens and their poo and bedding was a really good addition to my compost, I know I'm in the beautiful Dorset countryside but keeping chickens isn't just a country pursuit and they will produce more poo than a few guinea pigs, and you get wonderful organic eggs, you don't need a huge amount of space especially if you just have a few bantams. There's always gumtree too, if your shop notices don't work. Or if you have younger children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews a chat around the playground at pick up time will nearly always find you someone who can help out- or is chatting and being friendly with your neighbours and community just a country village thing?- you could always start a revolution and get your neighbourhood talking to one another? Best of luck.
I have a rabbit, never heard of putting there poop in the compost. What about the stuff they pee on, can that go in the compost or not. Thanks for any info.
All of it, all their bedding, straw and poop - high in nitrogen, full of the stuff that activates the decomposition of your compost - fabulous stuff Lorna. You'll have the best compost around!

Lorna - if you bed your rabbit on wood shavings you need to mix with green matter i.e weeks grass clippings etc to moisten - does take longer to compost than hay/straw but makes fab compost
