Bunny Proofing Your Home: A Never-Ending Battle 🐰

If you live with rabbits, you quickly learn one important truth:

Nothing is truly bunny-proof.

Not blankets.  
Not baseboards.  
Not expensive phone chargers.  
And apparently… not antique lamp cords either.

At 3am this morning, BunBun somehow managed to perform what can only be described as a tiny criminal heist.

She dug out the cord to my antique bedside lamp — a cord that was hidden behind furniture, tucked between the wall, threaded through bed rails, and even protected with a cord cover.

Somehow, she still managed to pull the cord through everything and chew it clean in half.

At 3am.  
While I was sleeping.

Rabbit owners know this feeling all too well. The moment you think something is impossible to reach suddenly becomes your bunny’s newest life mission.

Living with free-roam rabbits means learning to see your home differently. Curious little noses and determined teeth can turn ordinary household items into hazards surprisingly fast.

A few bunny-proofing tips that have helped in my home:

• Use heavy-duty cord protectors whenever possible  
• Block gaps behind furniture and beds  
• Keep tempting cords completely out of reach if possible  
• Rotate enrichment toys regularly to reduce boredom chewing  
• Never underestimate a determined rabbit

• If you hear scratching or digging while you’re in a deep sleep, don’t ignore it, get up and check to see if your bunny is discovering a new tastey household item to chew on. Safety first! 

The truth is, bunny-proofing is never really “finished.” Rabbits are intelligent, curious, and incredibly persistent little creatures.

And honestly? Even after the chaos… we still adore them.
