Bunny proofing

[Malo]

I want to let my bun roam around in my roomwhile Im in there cleaning or doing homework. I have a lot of wires inmy room and was wondering what you do about them for bunny proofing?

Radio Shack sells these long black tubes you can hide your wires in.

Auto parts stores often sell similar items in different colors, lengths, and diameters for less money.

You can also use PVC pipe from Home Depot

I went even cheaper than that... for like 0.97 Ibought shower rod covers and they work well.... plus you can get themin decorator colours lol

Could you build a little panel of fencing aroundall the wires??? Or a little playpen...just other ideas. Small PVC pipeworks well, as well as pipes specially designed for wires.

I've only got part of our computer roombunny-proofed, by blocking off sections w/ NIC panels. Theonly bit of real wisdom-from-experience I have to share is to not relyon spiral cord wrap like this:http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F010%5F008%5F004&product%5Fid=278%2D1638

Afterweeks of completely ignoring the sprial-wrapped cord,Meat Bunny chewed through half of the power cord to my roomate's sewingmachine. Meat, luckily, wasn't injured, but it's going tocost around $100 to fix the sewing machine. :?

Any wires i have i simply draw the wires upwardsand tack them to the wall and then put a peice of furniture in front ofthe plug socket. So basically the wire runs upwards behind thefurniture. My sofa covers one socket, the tv stand covers the other,file cabinet covers the third and the stereo covers the fourth. Thelamps are a whole other story. Igave up on them. I cut thewires off , they no longer make light, they are just pretty decorationsfor end tables lol. Still a small price to pay for happy housebunnies,I have a ceiling light Im ok with that.

We needed a quick solution, so I bought gardenhose and cut it to the right length for each of the exposed wires.Strange, but it works well.

i bought split-tubing from home depot it cost alittle over a dollar for 10ft. and you can buy thesestickyclamps so you make sure it stays against the wall.Ialso made sure to buy a diameter I thought was too wide tofit into my bunnys mouth.

Good luck!
