I disagree as a rabbits breeder. Rabbits I known of like to walk on harnash, you know the kind you get for cat? They feel more safe, if they have harness. LEash is not safe because they can slide off their neck easily, they don't feel safe. Anyway I recommed you get a harness, train him or her to get used to it. First get the right size, then take it outside, don't go on a walk untill he use to it. Let he explore. Unlike dog, you are the boss, with rabbits, he or she is in control where to go, because if you control it, you might hurt it. But only pick it up, if he or she go in a bad place or, cats, dogs around. Everyday take it outside, let it walk around. Then after he used to it, then you can go on a walk to park or something.
