Alot of people seem to be getting the wrong idea from this video. I do my very best to make sure my animals are safe & secure & happy. All of these rabbits are harness savvy & wear them when they are out on the lawn which is most of the day. Cedar, my brown boy, was more prone to escaping so he was harnessed more than the girls. The water was very shallow & the rabbits were never treated cruelly EVER.

So, please, if you're going to write an ignorant, ill informed comment bugger off. {:^L

U put your rabbit on a LEASH?!?!

[pinkrocksaus]

@Sugarplume5 Purely for their own safety as our backyard wasn't 100% safe for them. This way they get the freedom without the worry of them escaping & hurting themselves. They were always supervised.

It is even smart to cool down a rabbit with water on hot days, since rabbits CAN NOT sweat like we humans do. That's why wild rabbits spend their summer days in their burrow and only leave it at dawn or dusk. These rabbits don't seem to be panicking in water and it's also not deep enough for them to be forced to swim. Besides I think it's better for them to be leashed outside, if the garden's not safe, than being forced to rot in a small cage all day long <_________<

I wish my bunny would like his lease he hates it he squirms all the time. The buns seem to be enjoying the pool :)

This is a great vid :) I saw others and they were so dumb puttiing them in a pool like meters deep so they couldnt get out but this is adorable and there isnt that much water in there so they cant drown:D

you can buy leashes and harnesses at most certified pet shops specifically for bunnies. it doesnt hurt them and its not torture people. Seriously, go pour your poor bleeding hearts into the SPCA and the true animal torture cases.
