Well, I see my breeders as pets and even name them. I have one girl, a nice albino who was an excellent mother named Milky, that is past her prime and I'm actually considering keeping her through her lifespan rather than having my BF gas her for feeding off. She actually tolerates holding as well.

Most of the time, tho, I end up feeding off my old breeders. Having a rabbit for a pet is enough furriness for this apartment.
