anyone else do rabbit doo?
I was just wondering? Whenever I dump their pans there is also urine in them and wondered how I deal with that? Also does anyone use rabbit poo in their gardens?

I see this post is over a year old, but, I do! I get rabbit manure and urine soaked bedding (hay, straw, sawdust pellets) all mixed together, from the people who run the local chapter of the House Rabbit Society. I use it as is. I put it all over the garden in the fall, and in the spring I stir it in a little and pick out anything big that didn't decompose and throw it in the compost.
Later in spring, after plants are half a foot tall or so, I'll side dress them with just manure and shavings that I sort of sift out of the bags of stuff as I go. The urine is fine, never a problem with it.

I always find rabbit doo-doo piles all over the gardens in spring from the winter, and just rake it in as it lays. Between the snow and spring rains, it's great fertilizer

Rabbit dropping are one of the better manures for composting I compost any droppings I can find and we have a dog kennel and we get plenty of manure from that but mixed in the pile and plenty of red wigglers and it breaks down nicely.
