Preventing your Pet Rabbit from biting wires

When it comes to biting, it’s normal for a pet rabbit to have those tendencies. It’s good that it can dig their teeth into food, but it’s not when they can also bite into wires. So, today you’ll know how to prevent your rabbit from biting any wires.

Starting from the beginning

As with other pets or with children, the smaller the rabbit, the easier it will be to adapt to the home. For this reason, we must begin to create habits in the rabbit from the first day it is in our home.

Pet rabbits can be very nervous, so we should not talk to them yelling or keep them in disturbed environments.

One trick to help them learn faster is to use food as a reward when they do something well. Such as relieving themselves in the cage.

We should not always keep it in the cage, these animals are used to running freely in the field. For a few hours a day, it is recommended that they’ll be outside the cage. As long as we are attentive to them. We should not leave it only outside the cage and less the first days, since it can cause an accident or destruction.

Your Pet Rabbit tends to bite

These rodents tend to bite practically everything that is put in front of them, so if they still do not know our home, we must be very attentive to them so that they do not bite everything they find.

In the event that the pet rabbit bites the cables that we have at home, it can end up peeling them and receive a shock. This poses a danger to both the rabbit and the inhabitants of the house.

It is best to avoid danger, so here are tips to do that

We must place the cables out of reach of the pet rabbit. We can cover the gaps where the rabbit can get in and access a cable. Or, you can place the cables up high.

In hardware stores, there are gutters to cover the cables. That could help us to prevent our pets from accessing them and biting them.

Another trick we can do if the cable is not connected to the current is to put a little vinegar on top. Or some substance whose taste and smell repel the rabbit. But this is not effective, since not all pet rabbits are repelled by this stuff.

Avoid stress for your Pet Rabbit

Rabbits are animals that tend to bite everything in their path when under stress. These animals tend to stress easily and for reasons such as noise, unfamiliar people, illness, or poor diet.

If we observe that our pet rabbit bites everything, it is best to offer it an object that it can bite without posing any danger. For example branches, calcium stones, wood… In specialized stores, we can find a multitude of these elements that are perfectly adapted to the needs of rabbits.

In the event that our rabbit bites a cable or suffers some kind of accident, we must go immediately to the vet.
