I have a question on bunny bedding (straw) and pooh, asking for a friend......
As it happens the g-son's pre-school is adopting a g pig or a bunny. They have both now, and making a choice, vote by kids. This AM when doing the drop-off, suggest perhaps they could put the bedding in the compost. I am thinking it would be OK for whichever furry pet they adopt, but checking with some of you far more knowledgeable than I am.
Of course I could offer to take the bedding off their hands a couple times/week, but then would be relegated to cage cleaning duties!
For a year or so (2009?), I went to the local House Rabbit Society and picked up timothy hay + "end products" and put the whole lot into my composter. The poo disappeared quickly, but the timothy hay took Forever and A Day. 
Somewhere on this forum, it's in my list of Things that Take a Long Time to Decompose.
If the kids are using actual bunny litter rather than timothy hay, you'll probably have great success with composting it. I think guinea-pig bedding is more like wood shavings, maybe? That should also compost more quickly than the timothy hay did, from what I've read (no personal experience w/guinea pigs).
Take it and run!
