A harness for a rabbit? Why do you need one? I know mine wouldn't let me put one on.
So I can walk him around the garden, as I dont want to let him loose as he may eat a plant he shouldnt or digg out. I arent going to walk him anywhere other than the garden.
& hes a french lop about 4.7kg - so not massive
:roll::roll: I really think this is wrong! they arent ment to be on leads,it will stress him out.

I highly doubt that he will enjoy having a harness on!
Can't you let him in a space that is totally safe? With nothing he might eat.
If he panicks when he has got a harness on he could get tangled up and strangle himself.
I definatly wouldn't ever put a harness or my Buns x

Dogs aren't 'ment' to be on leads either, but a lot of the time it is necessary.
If the harness is fitted properly, and the rabbit is supervised when in it then you shouldn't have any problems like this
Dogs aren't prey animals
But with the lead, the panic, and they could get it around their neck. They would move so fast, and panic soo quickly that they would be hopping allover the place.
By the way, I hope you realise you can very rarely walk a rabbit, the rabbit walks you! :lol: They are very unlikely to go where you want them to go, but if they do try escape, or go somewhere they shouldn't you can keep the lead stiff and pick them up.
Can I just clear up that:
I would never stress or harm an animal on purpose.
I would like to try a harness so the rabbit could have more space - he does have a large hutch and run but I'm just trying to enrich his life.
I wouldnt force him to wear a harness in any way nor would I pull on it to hurt him.
