Question Rabbit manure?

Beginner here so bear with.

I've been researching different tek and have settled on LC, whole oat, and monotub. I've seen a lot of different substrate ideas and am looking at coir mixture. I've seen worm castings used as a food source but I was wondering if rabbit "pellets" would work, as I have rabbits. I know they're very very popular in organic gardening so I'm curious if it'd have the same benefit as worm castings in a sub.

Edit: l would be growing manure favoring varieties.

Thanks in advance!

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?

He means mildly nutritious additive to substrate, not as a grain replacement. Just in the way you'd use horse manure, or chicken manure, or worm castings, or anything else in a pasteurized substrate. It wasn't all that long ago Coir didn't exist in the hobby you know xD I had many years of using manures

Pretty sure by substrate he means the coir part, not the grain part.

To be fair, as I research further the CN ratio, you might still be spot on as oats would be about 14:1, so that might very well suffice.

Someone tell me different? These would be manure favoring variety.
