Hi All

We have a much loved family pet. Dwarf Rabbit Poppy is about 8 months old.

I would be worried if any dogs came around or something like that? Any advice?

You can get leashes for them yes, but in my experience they don't like them all that much and often just freeze and don't move. It would be best if you picked some grass from an area that you know isn't sprayed with pesticide/chemicals and gave that to her. Grass is vital to a rabbits diet but it can be given dried (hay) rather than fresh.
