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.

For baseboards and furniture, the only thing you can really do is to place a barrier between your rabbit and the objects you wish to protect. Either use a wooden board, chicken wire, or any other fence like enclosure. This will protect your furniture from nasty rabbit bite marks. Rabbit proofing can be a bit of a chore, but once you're done, you can rest easy knowing your rabbit can play freely and safely in your home.

Whether you choose one of the many sizes and styles of enclosures at your local pet store, build your own, or create a unique hybrid of bought and built, your Wooly must be housed indoors. Despite their thick coats, Woolies are very intolerant of changing weather.

Food, hay and water containers should be cage mounted to avoid spilling and contamination. Wire flooring allows droppings to fall into a removable tray, but even narrowly spaced wire can cause sores on bunny's feet. Fortunately, Woolies are easily litter-box trained, making a wire floor unnecessary. Never use clumping litter or cedar chips, as both can be harmful if ingested.

Your Wooly's home needn't be an unsightly box in a corner of your living room. It can be an attractive centerpiece and even decorated appropriate to the season. Never use electric decorations on your rabbit's cage. Any other decorations which could be harmful if chewed should also be kept well out of bunny's reach. A good general rule of thumb is: what is safe is the crib is safe on the cage. There are exceptions, however. When in doubt, ask your veterinary doctor or other animal care specialist.
