The amount of times that bunny-proofing has made its stand on this blog is pretty large, but it’s all for a reason. Many rabbit owners don’t realize how simple bunny-proofing really is. With bunny-proofing, the amount of money that can be saved from destruction is quite insane.

Bunny-Proofing Shopping List

• Cable protectors
• Baby-proof outlet plugs
• NIC grids
• Zip ties
• Natural Area Rug(s)/Sturdy rugs
• Exercise pen(s)

Descriptions:

• Cable protectors: Cable protectors are large plastic tubes with a minuscule slit in the top of which the cables can be slipped into. These cable protectors prohibit rabbit from targeting cables to chew on, and can protect the rabbit(s), and the cords from harm. These cable protectors can be found in almost, if not all, hardware stores.
• Baby-proof outlet plugs: These outlet plugs are very well known for babies to prevent them from sticking their fingers in the outlets, the same goes for rabbits. Rabbit claws are susceptible to sliding into outlets, of which the rabbit may try to chew at the outlet in some way. The outlet plugs prohibit the rabbit from accessing the outlet, to then prohibit any injury. These plugs are available at nearly any store.
• NIC/grids: NIC grids are small wire grids built together to form a large square of grids, which are usually used for organizers and shelving. These grids are absolutely amazing for blocking off small areas where the rabbit shouldn’t have access to. NIC grids are found at most home stores, if not, they can be found on Amazon.
• Zip ties: Zip ties are lifesavers to most rabbit owners. Even though they may seem irrelevant, zip ties can really take a toll on your rabbit’s safety. With zip ties, putting together a barrier for a small area with the NIC grids is extraordinarily simple. Other rabbit owners use the NIC grids and the zip ties to make a cage door, or even a rabbit condo, it’s all up to the owner’s wants and needs. Zip ties are easy access in all hardware stores.
• Natural Area Rug(s)/Sturdy rugs: Rabbit safe area rugs are a must for owning rabbits, more for those who don’t choose to use fleece and towels on the floor. These rugs are amazing for those who choose to free-roam their rabbit. These rugs allow a traction spot for the rabbit to run. With this, these rugs must be a sturdy and woven material without any fringes to be considered safe for rabbits. These rugs are most commonly found in home good stores.
• Exercise pen(s): Exercise pens are magnificent for any large situations of which an owner may want to block off a very large area. With this said, these exercise pens have to be sturdy, tall, and long enough to work for a rabbit. Rabbit exercise pens should be made of a sturdy metal material, they should be pretty long, and should be at least 3 feet tall. These standard ensures that the rabbit will stay happy, healthy, and safe in their bunny-proofed area.
