We’ve got a couple of bunnies, which the kids (and wife) adore.
I don’t mind them, but they’ve started chewing cables, so keen on protecting these cables as the alternative (in my opinion) is to fire up the stove. Apparently rabbit stew is nice…

Jokes aside, can anyone recommend any cable protectors?
I’ve seen a couple of options at Jaycar, but keen on hearing what the Geekzone community recommends.

From what a friend has had to deal with, corrugated split loom over things to get it up to enough diameter that they lose interest is what it takes. Even the small 10mm stuff gets eaten thru, just takes longer than a bare power cable does. Also chewing mains cables and getting a belt off it doesn't discourage them.

Thanks, bought 16mm corrugated split loom.
Early days, but hopefully it will keep them away from chewing the power cords.
