Hi Everyone
I have slightly OT problem.
My rabbit, a miniature floppy ear is allowed to roam the house
just like a cat or dog would. Though not an animal lover, I considered
it cruel to confine him to a cage 23 hours of the day. Unfortunately I
can't seem to stop him from chewing on the wires behind the stereo
and there is no practical way of blocking access to them. Already he has
managed to chew through a few premium grade audio connectors
and the power cables are showing signs of gnawing. Naturally if he were to
bite through one of these he'd fry himself in seconds and it would be
off to the taxidermist. To make matters worse he could also burn the house
down.
along with the camera collection, which includes a few Leicas. I've heard
that
there is a liquid of some sort that's applied to nervous birds in order to
keep them
from plucking themselves raw. Does a rabbit oriented equivalent of this
liquid exist?
Anybody know what it's called. I thought it might be possible to coat the
wires with it
to keep him from chewing. Is there any other solution which doesn't require
confining
him? His name is Andy.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.
See Ya
Javier
