A 7-year-old boy in Borlänge, Sweden, has started a rabbit manure business with his 5-year-old brother. Luigi Berglund, who has previously sold berries and mushrooms to neighbors and relatives, saw an opportunity to make money from his pet rabbits. The family posted about the manure on Facebook, leading to a three-week waiting list for orders.

The rabbits, named Blomma and Semla, now live in a cleaner cage. According to gardening expert Sara Bäckmo, rabbit manure works well for home gardeners because it is mild and difficult to over-fertilize with. The family has started a dedicated rabbit compost and uses the manure for their own plants.
