My next question is... How do you raise these babies and not want to keep them all?

Lol, 1-4 is normal, and don't name them. Lol, I raise mini Rex's and its sooooooo hard to sell them but once tree gone I have a new litter wether I want it or not, our buck is by our does so they self breed. Grr! Lol, we've gotten a new set up to we're there few inches apart. I'm happy my next litter is in December.

BunnyLady: can I feed my rabbits banana plant leaves, or stalks? I have plenty. They'll die in the winter. Just wondering if I could use them. Also, a BYC member that raises rabbits right up the road from me was wondering the same thing (her idea and I love it).

These are considered treats, and should be fed in very limited quantities (no more than two tablespoons a day for a five pound rabbit!), if at all. Safe choices are apple, apricot, banana, cherries, mango, peach, plum, papaya, pineapple, apricot, berries....just about any fruit you would like is okay for your bunny. Be very careful not to overdo these treat foods, as they may promote cecal dysbiosis, other intestinal problems and create a desire in the bunny to eat treats instead of his/her normal, healthy foods.

Oh we're just not on here much. We east TN folks are just shy. Lol
Yes there are buns and chickens here.
And welcome to God's country - most wonderful place on earth. I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else.

Thanks. I thought banana leaves could be fed like grass. I give them treats twice a day. Like 1/12 of an apple or 2" piece of mini carrot. They get pellets and unlimited high quality Timothy hay. Just hoping they could eat a lot of banana leaves, but I'll keep it a treat. They love black berry branches that I give them off old branches.
