my uncle breeds rabbits and he's very active with them and they know and like him/his scent he usually grabs one up right after birth and checks it,but then he doesn't mess with them for another 1-3 weeks if your rabbit will willingly come to you,lay beside you,run around you,be near you you can hold them after about 1 1/2 weeks but i wouldn't recommend any sooner because if you handle them too young you have a high chance of giving them an illness because they have a low immune system till about the same time they start to get their "full" coat
