  Hello everyone,
  
  Thinking of getting my 3 year old rabbit a pet monitor with a built-in laser. There’s this one device called Helmet by iFamCare. It’s the one that has the built-in laser. Is it ok to play with a laser with my rabbit or is it dangerous? (It is a consumer laser, nothing too strong)
  
  Let me know if I should proceed with this purchase or not.
  
  Thanks

  All lasers, even the small laser-pointers for office-use can hurt eyes if the light is shone into them. This is an important consideration imo.
  Other than that I know nothing about lasers. Cats can find them amusing. My dog wasn’t the lest bit interested in chasing the red dot of a laser pointer when she was a pup, but the (lack of a) response from one dog is not much to go on.
  
  I hope someone with experience can advice you. I just want to warn you about the eyes, since I’m sure you wouldn’t want to harm your bun.

  I don’t think this is something that a rabbit would find entertaining to be honest….

  Why not buy a small hand held laser for a few dollars and see if your rabbit likes it before investing in something more expensive?

  Lasers work as toys for cats b/c cats are predators and want to chase and kill the zooming red dot. Rabbits are prey animals though, and have no desire to hunt zooming red dots. A rabbit would either just ignore or be frightened by it.
  
  Also, a cat will be intent on chasing the red dot, so would be running around and only rarely could the laser shine directly into a cats eye for a brief moment. If a rabbit was frighted and reacted by going to ground, the eye would be still and vulnerable to the laser shining directly in it for an extended period.
