It’s usually recommended that rabbits should not be put in harnesses. If they get startled, which can be easy to do outside with unfamiliar sights and sounds, they can be injured in a harness. There are predators outside that can come out of nowhere. A rabbit is not safe from them even in a fenced in yard and even if you are near. There are also parasites that can be picked up outdoors, as well as plants that might be toxic if eaten. It’s a lot safer for a rabbit to stay indoors.
