Argh!!! changed a new phone line thanx to her... ;D Have u guys ever encounter prob with not jus bunnies but also cavies being attracted to loose wires around the house and they will jus nibble till it's exposed... wont they get electricuted anyone with ways of preventing (other den hiding all the wires well??, cos sometimes it jus cant be well hidden)

... i placed my piggies in this C&C playpen while i changed their bedding the other time... within one minute.. they managed to chew off two of my nokia phone charger.. and my MD charger... power rite?? haha... then ever since that day (cos my furniture all ikea all the pine wood shelf and stuff) so i just bot those notice board pin nice nice one then pin one paper clip to the shelves.. then i hang my wires thru the paper clip.. looks kinda cute.. saves the wire frm my piggies.. and also good for separating the many different wires.. and for hanging the charger tips.. so can take it easily..

If letting pets out for floortime, I think must chew proof the whole place. This is not just abt rabbits and guinea pigs, cos I encountered my gerbils chewing up my wires before. I'm not surprised if hamsters do the same thing. My gerbils escaped and chewed up a lamp wire on the floor. I didn't know until the day I caught them, and tried to on the lamp. It wldn't switch on. Checked the wires and found them chewed up. All the inside metal was exposed and torn.
