Lead and harness recommendation for rabbit

1 reply

We have 3 Dutch rabbits with a hutch and large run in our paved back yard. A door if the hutch is always open so they have quite a bit of space to run around all the time. We used to also sometimes bring them into our front garden in a fenced enclosure but they kept trying to dig under it and it is a bit of a hassle to set up. If possible I'd like to bring them (one at a time) out to the grass on a lead but not sure if only certain harnesses/leads would be suitable? Thanks

To be honest I don't recommend harnesses and leads for rabbits. None of them are entirely non-escape proof, the harness around them can cause them to panic and mistake it for claws of a predator, especially if you put any pressure on the lead.

Personally I wouldn't use the front garden area for them to play, you can always hand-cut grass for them if it's getting a bit long (never use grass from a lawnmower). You can also grow grass for them in large trays, paddling pools or underbed storage boxes (make sure to punch some drainage holes!), just swap them around when they've been eaten down or dug up.
