Are you asking whether a harness would help settle the running around like a maniac and fighting you when you pick her up? I don't think so. You are a stranger, she's been kept locked up. Those behaviours are perfectly natural, I'd run around like a maniac if I was let out to do so after living confined. What's their housing? Do they have running around room outside? My first thing to give her would be plenty of running around room all the time so she doesn't go "woohoo!" when she is given playtime inside. Second, I'd spend time with her offering food, talking to her, letting her get to know me. When she knows you are not a predator, she shouldn't be so reluctant to let you pick her up. At the moment, she does not know you and from her perspective you are no different from some wolf out in the wild. I wouldn't try to put a harness on an animal that doesn't know who I am, and has a measure of calm and trust that what I am doing isn't trying to hurt it. Try having your playtime in one room/in a playpen, where she can run around but not get under things where you can't retrieve her. Wait until she settles on her own and learns that you are her friend and not out to chomp her for dinner. Find some food she really likes to offer her. When she knows you better, then try using the harness if you really want to.I have some questions if someone could answer them that would be great!
1) when she is inside she runs around like a maniac and I can't catch her very well. When you hold her (I know rabbits don't like to be held, feels like a predator) she scratches and kicks. She has been in a harness before and apparently did very well.
I was just wondering if a harness would help... Does anyone have any experience with harness training?
thank u. My husband thought I was crazy when I pitched it to him. LolThat's really nice noble!
Yes, they love their veges. Kale is a big winner with mine, they love that. They also like capsicums and they like rosemary. I give them hunks of it and they chew the woody stems as well.and all the green scraps go to them . They love the big green leaves from broccoli, cabbage, mustard greens , all that stff.
I'mUh yea they ate my shoes up a bit, I'll have to get them some chew toys.
Used the harness on Spitty, she did very well. Didn't mind it at all. Now I just need a smaller size!
