I have a 10-lb. Rex. Standard harnesses are too small. What would you suggest for walk-abouts?

Answer:

I teach Rabbit Agility and either the comfort harness or H harness will both work. I prefer the H harnesses (Lupine makes them in 2 sizes and they are listed in the cat section). The important thing is that the point where the lead connects does not pull on their neck, but is located on their back. The comfort harness will attach under the rabbit where the H harness will connect on top of the rabbit. Your choice will come down to personal preference. I find that connecting the harness above the rabbit is easiest for me and I don't need to deal with cleaning fur out of the velcro (H harness does not use velcro). I have a 12lb Californian and the larger size H harness fits her well and the size is much more adjustable than a comfort harness. A friend has a standard Rex, but Bear prefers to travel in her Radio Flyer wagon vs having to walk.

Answer:

Actually, a harness of any type is very dangerous for a rabbit. Their skeletal system is much more fragile than their muscular system and their bones break easily. Better to set-up an indoor exercise area for them, i.e using x-pens or a bunny proofed room and let them exercise indoors!

Answer:

Thank you for your question. I asked our Small Pet merchandisers what they would suggest and they pointed me to the comfort harness. It is sized not by weight but by girth and neck size, so I cannot tell you for certain but perhaps you could check it out with your pet's measurements.

Answer:

I have a heated pad in my hutch...plenty of straw and a heated water bottle. My rabbit does just fine. I do however bring him in if temps drop below 10 degrees. I got both the water bottle and heat pad at Dr. Foster and Smith.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not have specific product to winterize your rabbit hutch. We do suggest supplying more bedding for your rabbit.

Answer:

If you are talking about in your garden, they probably have enough food already. If you want to help out over the winter, you can provide them with timothy hay and a high quality pellet to get them through the winter, especially if Massachusetts has a winter like last year's!

It has the optimal balance of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, vitamins, and minerals plus Salad Supplement™, a unique ingredient which duplicates the nutritional composition of grains rabbits eat in the wild.
