How do I make use of rabbit manure?

I have a system that can catch rabbit poo, but the pee is acidic and will burn your poor plants, and make your compost smelly~ . So the question is, how do you separate urine from fecal matter? Should I rinse it? Use a dry solution? Separate it somehow? And the 'poo collector' has a wire bottom so the urine will strain out, would this be effective, and I could just apply immediately? Answers would be helpful (for the sake of my compost pile! )

Dried poo can be added directly to your garden. If wet with urine, it should be moved aside to dry out. If in doubt, put it all in the compost and use when the compost is ready.

With my system, the urine flows out into totes and poo sits in a tarp under the cages until I collect it. If it is really wet, I put it in plant trays and lay it on wire racks in the greenhouse to dry. The poo is great for the garden immediately so composting it usually isn't necessary. It is also a great seller at farmers markets if it is dry and bagged attractively. I heard of one innovative soul who makes rabbit poo 'tea bags'. And then sells them for making robust plant water. The main purpose for my rabbits is to make good soil for me (and good meals).

I pour the pee under the drip line of my fruit trees. I also add the pee directly into my compost. The nitrogen is a great kick starter. It works great in my piles.

Rabbit waste is a great resource.

Thanks! I was thinking at first the urine touching it would make the manure too acidic and I wouldn't be able to use it. I've already got a system like that!
