Looks safe to me

It's pretty much pure sugar though, so just in very small amounts as a treat. Organic or not does not make any difference there.

 

[JBun]

Very limited amounts, even more so than if it was fresh as it shrinks and becomes more condensed with drying. And only if it doesn't cause mushy poop or other signs of digestive upset.

a once every couple of days treat?

Like @Preitler said, it's still fruit and has a ton of sugar, even if none is added. So, yes, it's safe, but no, it's not healthy. So I'd echo and say, fine if you use them sparingly for treats, but they shouldn't be part of your little one's "diet". I use freeze-dried bananas for treats. I have a peculiar bun who hates bananas, but loves them when they're crunchy!

I was wondering what to do for bunny that doesn't like bananas. Thanks. I'll try that.

How do you keep from eating them all yourself?

I give my bunny 2-3 baby carrots or an apple slice when she gets into her cage at night.
