rabbits love to chew... its just to keep there teeth down, as they never stop growing! its hard to make them stop. what I did was put the wires through PVC piping. that way they cant chew the cords.

Because rabbit teeth grow about a half inch per month and they need to chew something to wear their teeth down. If you are talking about her cage wire, you won't really be able to make her to quit, but you might help reduce it by putting in a small thin wood block for her to chew on. I recommend cutting plaster lathes into about 8-10 inch sections. They are easy and thin for rabbits to chew.
If you are talking about electrical wires, put a little tobasco sauce on them. Rabbits don't like the taste of hot stuff.

You need to supervise your rabbit when she is out of the cage. It is natural for your rabbit to chew, there is nothing short of keeping an eye on the rabbit and shooing her away from the wires.
Instead of rubber tubing(which can also be chewed), try getting PVC pipping, sold a hardware store, and place the wires through the pipping.

The best way to stop her chewing them, is to move them out of her reach. Its not a quick answer, but its your safest option. Or you can buy rubber tubing and thread every wire through it.

Has this been happening for a while? It sounds like she's on heat and trying to escape..
Hey don't laugh, it's true- They get bizarre and hormonal and chew madly at everything- our meat rabbits do that, and the males do it to the actual cage wires and since the cage is a dual/but split with males/females separated, he's gotten in once, and we had to put in a timber false wall.
Agreed on the teeth growing answer, you can get your vet to give them a trim and that settles them down for a while, but like I said- when on heat, they eat weird things.

Rabbits will chew anything to keep their teeth sharp and not to long. There i sno way to stop her but it is good for her.
