Do you give your pet rabbit walks?

Some people choose to take their rabbits for walks, but it can be dangerous. You must take certain precautions:

  • Use a harness specially-made for rabbits
  • Make sure your rabbit is vaccinated -- consult a rabbit-savvy vet
  • Protect your rabbit from parasites -- consult a rabbit-savvy vet about fecal analysis
  • Protect your rabbit from toxic plants -- refer to Related Links below
  • Protect your rabbit from predators

Predators include wildlife and other pets. Rabbits are very sensitive to stress. If something frightens them, they can panic and injure themselves, or go into shock and die of fright. If you bring your rabbit on a walk, and it meets a dog, and the dog starts barking and straining on its leash, that is enough to cause some serious harm to your rabbit. Make sure that anywhere you walk your rabbit is secure from the rabbit's point of view, as well as the human's.
