[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I stopped my pug puppy from destroying my speaker cables and other wires by getting some liquid dishwasher degergent on my hands and coating the wires with it. I added a few drops of water to my hand, so the detergent would apply more easily. One brand (?Dial) was effective, while some other brand was not. I think it's trial and error, avoiding anything toxic, of course.

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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
