Well, I understand, but this is no joke. Many folks who keep rabbits for food place a container under the cages and raise worms. And you know, you won't necessarily need to dip your hands into the rabbit manure. Since rabbits usually pick a spot to "do their dirty business" their droppings are mainly in only one part of the container. After a little bit of time, (and since rabbits are strictly herbivores, their droppings really contain grasses, hey components and that kind of material) the droppings look just like dirt and don't smell, in fact you can't even tell the difference between the two.
When you start your container, you can put some dirt or newspaper shredding it won't hurt at all. And another thing, the rabbit manure doesn't contain so much ammonia, otherwise the worms would die in it. This actually shows how "clean" the droppings are if you think about it. Earthworms are actually very sensitive creatures. They don't handle toxicity and too much ammonia/nitrates etc very well. You get a double benefit, rabbit meat and bait worms. You can easy get 80-90 lbs. of good rabbit meat per year from a single doe, and hundreds of nice and fat earthworms! [cool][fishon]
