Yes not interacting as much really helps and I'm hoping once I get the breeding stock of rabbits used to me so I can handle them easily we won't lose any more. I probably wont handle their babies as much knowing that I got more attached to the buck. I'm also trying really hard not to name them.

I'm really on the fence about butcher day. Originally I wasn't going to participate but I feel a little bit better about the whole thing. I probably won't decide until day of or once we decide on a butcher method
