Give me names of products - wire casing - anything that can keep the wiring away from the bunny jaws - and is also safe for them in case they do chew at that too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any health hazards keeping a bunny indoors?

Answer 1

I dont know the name of it, but any corrugated plastic tubing that you purchase at the hardware store should do the trick, just try to buy a thick enough gauge that isnt easily snapped. Also you should consider just about everything in your house to be a hazard. Chewing on carpeting, furniture, or getting into products are all possible problems. Your bunny should never be left unattended or allowed to roam free in areas where they could find trouble.

As for hazards inside, treat it as if you have a child coming to visit. Anything low enough to be got at, probably will be, so look for power points, plants, tight spaces (I've heard of one rabbit that got into the underfloor heating vent). If there's somewhere you really don't want the rabbit to go into, put a gate across the entrance way or close the door. Be sure to keep any pesticides like mouse or cockroach baits well out of the way as well.

If any bunnies give you problems, just get the number for Hugh Hefner and he will take care of your bunnies.
