Harnesses Cause Harm

As a welfare organisation, our Welfare & Wellbeing policies reflect our stance on best practises of rabbit care.

Rabbits are sentient beings that require a gentle approach, as a prey herd species they are fragile and susceptible to many health issues and will often tolerate abuse due to their nature which can be traumatic and lead to learned helplessness.
  • Harnesses restrict their natural way of navigating a new space and do not allow them to bolt when necessary.
  • Rabbits do not like to feel trapped and putting harnesses on them can make them feel defensive and vulnerable and extremely stressed.
  • Choking or injury including broken backs and necks can occur if the harness or collar gets trapped or tangled.
  • If the material is chewed and ingested, this could even cause a gastric blockage.

⚠️ Even if a rabbit will appear to tolerate wearing a harness, it is not enjoyable nor kind to rabbits. There is a reason all welfare organisation have the same stance on this matter, and this is because using these is never in the best interests of the rabbit. ⚠️
