Cable protectors.

What do you guys buy to protect cables from bunny teeth? And where do you buy it from?

Molly and Junior can't get to the electricity cables but they've chewed through the wire from my house phone to the BT box

We have black rubber strips at work to avoid trips, but I'm hoping there's something more discreet out there!

Thank you!

We've tried the 'discreet' (look nice, wrap close against the cable and nice and flexible) ones on the laptop cables, however she bites through them like paper. gives you a few extra seconds to spot that she is eating the cable but they certainly don't stand up to bunny teeth

I got some 'heavy duty' ones off amazon for the speaker cables, they are about 30mm wide (speaker cables are about 20mm thick so normal cable protectors wouldn't fit anyway) and the plastic is about 1.5mm thick.They look rubbish and are not very flexible, however she has not yet managed to chew through or even damage them.

If the cables are on the floor the best solution is probably trunking, which I think you can get from B&Q.

We use 'cable Tidy's' http://www.amazon.co.uk/JML-Cable-Tidy-metres-Black/dp/B0001PY4FG you can get them a lot cheaper if you shop around or look online and more of it.

and in my office I have cable tidy's from somewhere like Poundstretchers and I have a Cable Tidy Unit from B&Q http://www.d-line.co.uk/cable-tidy-units.php

or you can use hose pipe

Hudad uses stuff like this at work and it's proved Gizmo and Layla proof. There's load of different sizes available too from 25mm x 25mm up to about 150mm x 100mm

Trunking

Much cheaper than the domestic equivalents you get ripped off with. It's proved completely bun proof too.

Thanks guys

This is the type I use

Just about to order some more as it happens!!

How do you put them on Carla? Just wrap them round?

They have a slit down one side, so you open the slit and pop them in. Some I got came with some plastic device you use but I could never figure out how that worked so I've always done it manually. You can fit more than one cable in them too, which keeps them tidy. It's just a bit of a pain if you then have to unplug something

[b]Being an electrical contractor I used a plastic flexable conduit didnt look to good but it worked beware though putting your mains voltage cables along with data and telephone cables in the same bundle

I will definitely be getting some of these protectors because the rabbit formerly known as Barley and now as B**t**d, has bust out twice and bit through the internet cable, the phone cable and partially chewed through the extension lead that my stereo plugs into.

[b]I will never forget Ruffin a couple of years ago biting through the Chrismas Tree light flex and flying through the air

I thought we had had a shortage of Norty buns this week, then two come along at once

Are you wavering back towards Outdoor Buns, Nickie? Gizmo is a terrible indoor bun, as was Rosie. But Jack and Layla are positively angelic as long as there are no cables Layla can reach...

I must admit I am very sorely tempted to bung them back outside! But today I am really tired as I was at a girls sleepover last night. Was up late, drank too much and came home to a mess!

Hopefully barsteward bun is contained. I have changed pens so he is in the lockable one and she is in the temporary Cube enclosure. She has already bounced out once so a roof has been put on now!

So need to get some time off, bond them together. Get them into their permanent enclosure and hope they keep each other occupied and entertained thus stopping their terrorist activities. Luckily my friend's hubby is a BT engineer so will be able to help me get the phone reconnected!

I'm sorry Nickie but .......Pahahahahahahaha

So he has done it again?

Katie, the little sh** managed to break open the NIC Cube pen and was loose all night. During that time he: chewed through the telephone cable, ripped up a bit of my carpet (which is due to be replaced), pulled out all our board games and chewed some of the cards, pulled out videos from the bookcase. He is a holy terror!

The only good thing is that there were no puddles or poos - well any I've found yet! He is now in the pens I bought when I first got Sasha and Dave which are harder to get out of and I have remade the NIC pen and Sasha is in it.

[b]Have you tried barbed wire searchlights and a machine gun tower maned by guinea pigs in each corner I find it works a treat

I have ordered an orange suit and leg irons from Guantanamo.com. They should arrive in the next couple of days.

im sorry but ......... this made me laugh so much the little terror.

Awwwww! He just needs a period of the good life and lots of love and he will realise he doesn't need to break out all the time! Honest!

Well, Barley certainly sounds settled!

Have we not seen pics yet because you have him sellotaped to the floor?

It took ages to get a picture of him because as soon as you go near he scoots off and he is NEVER still!! Also when I tried to upload them my PC crashed.

So here they are for your delectation. He is a prize sh** but he is in maximum security for now.

He is gorgeous!
