Good for you!! I really like rabbit manure because it does not need to cure. I make a rabbit manure "tea". 1 gallon rabbit manure in a 5 gallon bucket full of water. I let it sit in the sun for a day or 2 then stir it up and water my plants with it. Happy plants especially the roses.

IDK about storage. Not sure about the bags. If it is fresh it will get too hot. I only get a couple of 5 gallon buckets at a time so storage is not an issue. Consider making bins from scrap lumber and chicken wire like you would a compost bin. Large, cheap garbage cans with large holes drilled all over the sides and bottom is another alternative. Use it as an additive to a compost pile.

Rabbit manure is premo!

I've stored 50# feed bags of fresh rabbit manure in my shed without any problems. Unless the bag was really wet with urine, then of course the bag could rot. But otherwise, it held up fine for me.
