Does this hurt the bunny?

Not at all. It is a harness just like they put on dogs, but small. Our bunny loved it! Or at least loved being out and about!!

No, as a matter of a fact when our rabbit really wants he can actually pull out of it, but instead he just hops along munching grass. He really doesn't mind it at all. The Velcro is adjustable so it can be adjusted for each animal, and the inside is smooth and doesn't snag their fur.

Didn't hurt the bunny at all. But she didn't like it and wiggles herself out of it very quickly.

No absolutely not. It's an accordion like leash with a velcro vest that goes around the rabbit's front legs. It just takes some time for the rabbit to get adjusted to it, but once they do it is an awesome tool to have

Hello. My rabbit has never jumped over this nor has he been able to squeeze underneath. I attached this to his cage (the bars on the cage run vertical) and keep the cage door open so he can run around whenever he wants. Hope this helps.

Wire floors aren't necessarily bad for rabbits. Standing around in their own urine certainly is, it can 'burn' the pads of their feet. The wire flooring allows the urine to 'escape'. A better idea is to provide mats. These can be made of cardboard, woven grass etc. Also it's a good idea to invest in a play pen or something similar and let your rabbit have some time out on the ground & space to hop around.

It's a bit higher, but I will measure when I arrive home. Dogs will scare your rabbits. Years ago I had a rabbit who got out and when the dog noticed her, she simply had a heart attack and died. We keep the hutch inside, and one night the bunny got out (due to leaving the ramp down) and scared the you know what out of my cowardly kitties. Rabbits are really fun to keep inside. You can box train them and they do really well. The hutch is of nice quality and we have enjoyed it. Remember, if the bunny urinates on the very corner of the hutch, it can run down the leg of the hutch. Not so bad if it's outside, but on carpet...yikes!

The velcro parts on the harness make it adjustable. The issue is that if the bunny wants to get out, it somehow can work it's way out. I just have to keep my eyes on her.

I am not sure but my guess is no. This device works by sending small vibrations through the ground which the underground animals do not like but would not affect animals on the ground - like rabbits.

No, it is basically a toy. My son says it doesn't hurt when hit with the paint balls, so I don't believe this item would be s deterrent.

I buy the grass mats for a 'chew toy'. It would work if your rabbit doesn't destroy the mat too quickly, either by chewing or fouling (toilet). My hutch has a wide plastic grid for the floor, but a previous wire grid cage did wear off the foot fur. Not so much as to cause sore hocks, but it is an issue for pets who spend all their time on wire. You might try simply buying bulk hay for the rabbit to spread around to his comfort, but you will have to completely clear it and refresh every day or at least every other (like a horse's stall) to prevent smell, illness potential, or just plain eating dirty hay. contact your local House Rabbit Society for other suggestions.

Not nessesarily. The grate is bad for rabbits if you leave your rabbit caged everyday without exercise or play. Also if you provide a solid area for the rabbit such as cardboard or a straw mat he mainly stays on it by choice. But yes they are bad if it is the only surface your rabbit will be walking on all day every day. Think about it as you walking on gravel. If you have to walk on it only a bit everyday it doesn't make your feet sore but if it is all you walk on day and night then it will cause blisters on your feet.

Hey Stacy,.. I am not too sure,as I have a family of 5 bunnies that reside in an extra large dog cage, so they have the bottom of that to protect their feet. I did purchase one of the Peter mats but my rabbits had it totally torn apart after a few days. They also were spoiled using it, as they got a bit lazy and urinated on it etc. But regardless, It is worth trying out for the price! Just try n make sure u get something that is ok for them to ingest, as having a new item in their area may cause them to nip at it etc. Unless u get another new chew toy in there at the same time,.. it may help distract him or her from the new 'carpet". Sorry I couldn't be of more help!!! Best of Luck, Kristi Hey Stacy,..

Our rabbits chew everything, but not this. I would keep most of the cord outside if the cage as a precaution, but the first few inches are quite protected.

It could hurt the cats if you play rough and are not careful. I've gone through about 10 of these in the last 3 years since the wire eventually frays at the top. Only once did our cat get hurt and that's when dear hubby was playing with the new kitten and wasn't paying enough attention and yanked in while she had the wire in her mouth. It cut her little mouth but we didn't know until she stopped eating. The vet gave her painkillers for 3 days and all was well. I won't stop using the dabird gocat cat catcher because it is all of our cats favorite toys ever. We just need to be careful when playing :) It could hurt the cats if you play rough and are not careful.

No, but I have a mini lop ear rabbit with small feet and she is just fine. I had a grass mat on the floor in half the cage at one time but she did not like it in there and tore it to shreds. I don't know how big or small guinea pig feet are compared to those of small lop ear rabbits.

No, have 16lb. kitty, not a problem (unless your Bunny is not use to litter boxes). Really no though. Once you have the litter in the box there's a good weight/balance going on. We love this box :)

Absolutely. I have two dwarf rabbits and they have a blast. I have actually attached it to their 2 story house and it is there play area. The house I have has a blend of wood and wire walls, so I wires a panel of the playpen to either side of the house. I still put the bottom cover on as well. The cover just isnt attached to anything where it meets the front of the house. The worst thing that happens is grass or a stray pellet may end up on the floor instead of the bottom cover. Also, the pen is easy for me to step over and get inside to play with them without having to undo the playpen. I am 5'9". Also, have the same set up for my chinchilla. Absolutely.

It involves the going through holes thing, but I don't think that the bunnies would be capable of using this as a plaything to jump on and off of. It's too high

No it doesn't really hurt. It is a shock, kind of like static electric. The lowest setting might be too low to feel. I leave mine on medium. My cat has only stepped on it twice that I know. It scares them more than anything. My cat does not hate me she just knows there is something by the stairs that scares her.
