hand-raise

Rear from infancy

To hand-raise an animal is to rear it from infancy through direct human care rather than letting its mother do the work: The zookeepers hand-raised the rejected lion cub.

Hand-raised animals often become more accustomed to human contact but may struggle to integrate with their own species later.
