I am really excited because I found an on-going source for fresh rabbit droppings and they are FREE! I plan to add some to my composter. In the composter, these are a green, right?

I think I can add them directly to my garden, but just want to be sure. Can you have too much of a good thing? I am not talking about having it stacked inches thick, but when I add it to my established beds, how often can/should I add it? I do not use any other fertilizer at this time. I have just started the composter, but it will be awhile before I actually have compost to add. Also, can I just put them under my mulch and they will decompose or do I actually need to dig them into the dirt?

I grow roses, daylilies, mum, some misc shrubs, some ferns, Encore Azaleas and a few bulbs if that makes a difference. Also, can they be added directly to a veggie bed?

TIA
