The cute factor doesn't really go away, but can be dealt with.CUTE! Now, that's why I never started raising meat rabbits. Can't get past the cute factor. But have eaten rabbit & it is not only good but, good for you.
I can see she's a pet.![]()
I have 3 ages of young bunnies all the time: Grow-out weaned between 5wks and 10wks, kits newborn to 5 wks with does, and does that are bred and or with kits in nest box.
The ones that were cute become ones that really do not want attention and not as furry and cute looking.
I do not handle just one of the kits with the doe to get attached to a certain one. I do not want them to get too tame.
The food source opportunities outweigh the cute factor of making them pets.
As long as my process stages keep going on, there are always new ones to handle occasionally until the next batch comes along.
