  Hi! For those of you who have walked your rabbit on a harness, how tightly do you have it on? I know it should be tight enough that it doesn’t turn upside down, but I also don’t want it to be too tight that it cuts into my bun.

  Harnesses can be very dangerous for rabbits, so most of us here do not recommend them. If the rabbit panics and struggles, they can easily injure themselves or escape.
  
  For giving time outdoors, it is safer to use an exercise pen and allow your rabbit to explore a bit that way.

  I agree, most here will not recommend a harness. A supervised exercise pen is much safer.
  
  For the sake of argument though – If you’re worried about how the harness fits (too loose vs. too tight), perhaps you should be looking at a different style.
