Your answers are the most important! =]Do you think rabbit leads are cruel or not i really want to take my friendly rabbit out for a little walk?
Don't worry, rabbit harnesses aren't cruel. In fact that is the only way me rabbit gets exercise! The good thing about a harness is that if your garden isn't secure all you have to do is get out the harness and walk your rabbit:-) The only down side is that not all rabbits will like having the harness on and might freak out. I would need to know what breed your rabbit is to know if a harness is right for you bunny.Do you think rabbit leads are cruel or not i really want to take my friendly rabbit out for a little walk?
Yes I think a harness is right for an adventurous lionhead rabbit although it would have to be the right fit.

Harnesses are great if you don't want to put your rabbit in a run. It is also useful if your worried about your rabbit escaping or getting lost. Most pet shops sell harnesses designed for rabbits. Pets At Home have some very nice harnesses for 拢5.99. Wilkinsons also do.
Harnesses designed for rabbits are usually safe but you should avoid the ones made of thin rope as they can easily strangle a rabbit.
Harnesses for cats are also suitable for rabbits, they are the same shape and usually the same size.
Small dog harnesses for breeds such as a Yorkshire Terrier are also good because the straps are thick and most fit medium sized rabbits.
When you first fit the harness make sure you can fit 2 or 3 fingers under the straps. Any more and the rabbit will probably wiggle out, any less and it will be choking the rabbit. When the harness is on, many rabbits will refuse to move. If this is the case, loosen it a bit and tempt them with a treat.
Remember...
- NEVER pick the rabbit up by the harness
- Bunny leads the way. Unlike a dog, it is very hard to get the rabbit to go where you want it to.
- Never put the rabbit back in its cage with the harness on. It WILL chew through and you will have to buy another harness.
- Never drag the rabbit along. Like I mentioned before, bunny leads the way. If he is going somewhere he shouldn't, dont pull the lead, just keep it tight so the rabbit can feel it gently restraining him.
- Never tie the rabbit to something by the lead. Again, it WILL chew though.
- If your rabbits paw gets stuck in one of the straps, it usually panics and suddenly goes mad, running away from you and jumping about. If this happens, quickly pick up the rabbit before it causes damage to itself. Calm the rabbit down and then tighten the straps.
Rabbit leads are not cruel; I used to take my rabbit out for walks all the time.
I'd recommend using a light chain leash, as a rabbit can snip a regular leash in two without a thought.
I guess they have rabbit harness; I used to use a cat harness adapted for the rabbit's dimensions--small neck and big chest.
Training a rabbit to wear a harness and lead is not cruel, however I hope you are not thinking of taking it out into the neighbourhood like you would walk a dog. Rabbits are an animal who are preyed on by larger animals and you wouldn't want yours to become some dogs dinner.
nope rabbit leads aren't cruel. there just for letting your rabbit have fun on a lead and walking them.
my rabbit doesn't like being put in a lead some rabbits don't. it doesn't mean that leads are cruel.
leads aren't cruel but people are by using the leads in a cruel way putting it on the rabbit then pulling the lead hard so it hurts them or swinging them on the lead.
that's really cruel and harsh.
Id take the lead over my rabbit being lost. Leads arent cruel, its the same for a dog or cat, if they wanna go outside, if you want to let them have some fun, they need to be on a leash weather u want them or not, they will get lost, runaway..etc..
A lead is just fine! Just know, ';walking a rabbit'; doesn't happen. :o) Rabbits just wander around and investigate and you follow THEIR lead. Just make sure you get a proper lead. You don't want to cause the bun any unintended harm.
Good luck with your bunny!
if you just walked your rabbit round the garden it should be fine but don't bring it out into the street, cuz you might meet a dog or cat. then it's bye bye bunny!!!!!
I have never heard of taking a rabbit for a walk! I would let it run around in the back yard as long as it is gated!
if the rabbt likes fresh air and gras it is ok but it not needed if you have big field it wont go far as long as it is a big field
As long as the lead isn't too tight and the rabbit is fine, then go for it
