Answer

Rabbits chew instinctively, and electric cords are extremely dangerous. This behavior could lead to severe burns or electrocution. Firstly, 'bunny-proof' your home by covering all exposed cords with hard plastic tubing or cord protectors, or relocating them out of reach. Secondly, offer safe and enticing chew toys made of untreated wood, cardboard, or natural fibers to redirect this natural urge. Ensure your rabbit has plenty of space and mental stimulation to prevent boredom, which can exacerbate chewing behaviors. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
