RABBIT PROOFING YOUR HOME
By: Andrew Massaro
If you plan on letting your rabbit live inside your home (and you should!) there are a number of steps you need to take to keep your rabbit and your furniture and appliances safe.
Rabbits are ravenous chewers. They will gnaw on practically anything within their reach. This makes for a very dangerous dynamic when you put a rabbit near power cables that run along the floors of your home. The first and easiest option to prevent your bunny from chewing on these cables is to try to run all the electrical wires in your home behind or below furniture where they will be inaccessible to your rabbit. If you can't successfully hide all of your power wires, there are three other options you can consider.
Plastic tubing can be purchased and wrapped around wires to prevent easy access by your rabbit. The same is true of spiral cable wrap. These two options are generally pretty effective but some rabbits still manage to chew their way through them. The third option is to buy decorative wire concealers that run along the bottoms of your walls with the wires tucked safely behind them. This is a time consuming and pricey method, but it is probably the most effective at keeping your rabbit away from the wires.
