Collars

[2bfg]

What are some appropriate collars for my young flemish giants?

Rabbits should never wear collars

They shouldn't wear collars because their necks are too delicate. A harness would be a better option.

Collars are really no appropriate for rabbits. Rabbits don't need to wear tags. A collar can get caught on something, even a foot, and that can panic the rabbit causing serious problems. A decorative collar for a photo is about as far as you want to go.

A harness can be more appropriate, but even then there can be issues. A harness should not be left on a rabbit. Some rabbits won't wear a harness. A few types can be dangerous for a rabbit due to being all one strap, too thick, or not fitted right so the rabbit can slip out.

If you are looking for ID, a tattoo or microchip is a better option. If you want something so you can take your rabbit outside, an x-pen is safer and allows more freedom to move around. If you can't set up a pen or don't have a safe yard, then a harness can be used.

I agree, collars are neither necessary nor safe for rabbits. Both of my rabbits do have H-style harnesses that they wear when we go into the yard and both are microchipped as a form of identification.

I would use a H style harness if I were u that's what I use for my young Flemish giant crossbreed. U can buy the H style harness at walmart it's called a kitten harness I think

I agree with everything said above, collars are not suitable. Harnesses can be worn but only under supervision and not full-time.

I got Bandit microchipped when I had him desexed.
