See if a pet store will buy them. If not put an ad in the paper to sell them for Easter presents. Many people buy their children bunnys for Easter. Otherwise raise them until they are a good size and use them for dinner. Rabbit meat is actually quite good.

This article will give you a lot of good info -
http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/surpriselitter.html
I quote - "The babies will begin to nibble at solid food as early as two weeks of age. However, they must not be weaned for a FULL EIGHT WEEKS AFTER BIRTH! As rabbits begin to wean (between the ages of four to five weeks), they begin to ingest bacteria that will eventually become part of their normal gut "flora." At the same time, the pH of the intestine is changing, and the babies are ingesting many potentially harmful bacteria. Babies who are weaned younger than 8 weeks suffer a very high risk of enteritis (inflammation of the intestinal lining, resulting in fatal diarrhea), especially when stressed (as by the separation from family and introduction into a new home!). Don't subject the babies to an early death simply because they are "cute" at four weeks, and more appealing to potential adopters. A serious adopter will not mind waiting until the baby is fully weaned and ready to start life away from mama."

8 weeks generally, or as early as 6 if they are eating well on their own.
