my friend owns a rabbit and she wants to know if it's advisable to put leashes on a rabbit

yes, she can. but it has to be used with a harness made especially for rabbits. you can find this at your local pet shop or petco and petsmart.
this may sound strange ,since we associate a leash with a dog and taking him/her on a walk. bunnies still hop when on a leash. it is advisable to practice and let them get used to it in the house, before opting to take them outdoors. good luck!

Leashes For Rabbits

Yes, you can, but I would recommend an harness rather than a leash. Bunnies tend to be very skiddish and are quite powerful when they are scared. A leash with a collar is not as stable as a harness is. She can walk the little hopper all over the place once it gets used to the thing. Good question!!

They have very small necklines and it is advised that the rabbit is not leashed. Not only that but the method in which he or she transports itself is not a stride but rather a hop. A repetitive force would be applied to the tender neck and damage may ensue. Just keep the rabbit in a well ventilated area and let it hop around as it pleases!

Most of them won't throw a fit like a cat does about the leash. You can find them at the pet stores and on e-bay. I got one for my guinea pig and ended up using it for the bunnies. They will fight with you as you put it on, but once you let them down, they forget about it.

Yes you can. Just use the cat harness type. They wrap around their neck and front legs.
