To protect your rabbit from being electrocuted, it is crucial to safeguard your cables with cable protectors. Proper protection ensures you and your rabbit can enjoy hours of playtime without being in immediate danger. In this blog, we describe all the cable protectors and their uses, so you can easily choose the protection that suits you.
Which cable protector is right for me?
You’re comfortably sitting with your laptop on the couch watching your favorite series. The curious bunny comes to see what its owner is doing. Snuggling together on the couch, who wouldn’t want that? But then, you look away for a moment, and your rabbit has already chewed through the laptop charger...
This is, of course, extremely frustrating, and you might feel like putting your rabbit behind the wallpaper when this happens. To prevent this, we have several ways to protect all your different cables from enthusiastic chewers. You can find them in the webshop under the category cable protectors.
Here are the best ways to protect your cables:
- The Ribbed Cable Protector
- The Braided Cable Sleeve
- The Self-Closing Cable Protector
- The Cable Tape
Every cable in your house is different. For example, the cable of the floor lamp is always in the corner, and the charger cable of your mobile phone goes everywhere with you. All these cables need a different type of protection. Below, we will explain each cable protector and its uses.
The Ribbed Cable Protector
The ribbed cable protector is ideal for concealing cables that you won’t need to touch for a while. It is made from a harder plastic that is difficult to chew through. You can easily push the cable into it. Order the ribbed cable protector [here]
You can use this cable protector for:
- Power strip cables
- Internet cables running along the wall
- Floor lamp cables
The Braided Cable Sleeve
The braided cable sleeve is designed for thin cables with a small connector at the end, allowing the sleeve to fit over the connector. When you squeeze the sleeve, the opening widens so you can slide it over the cable. Order the braided cable sleeve [here].
You can use this cable protector for:- iPhone lightning cable: 4 mm
- USB-C cable: 6 mm
- Other cables with a small adapter
The Self-Closing Cable Protector
The self-closing cable protector is perfect for all flexible cables with a thicker cable and/or connector. This protector is sturdier than the braided cable sleeve but still flexible enough for cables you want to take with you. You install the protector by simply pushing the cable into it.

You can use this cable protector for:- Laptop chargers with a thicker cable
- Laptop chargers with a thick plug/adapter
- Power cables, such as those for a monitor

The Cable Tape
Lastly, there is also cable tape. With this tape, you can neatly finish the edges of the cables. The tape is highly recommended for achieving a neat result. Additionally, the tape can be used to tape different cables together, for example, at a desk where many cables run. Order the cable tape [here].
The cable tape can be used in combination with any cable protector.
Choose the Cable Protector That Suits You
The right protection for your cables is very important, not only to prevent gnawing damage but also to create a safe environment for our rabbit friends. Whether it’s solutions for less visible cables, such as a power strip, or protection for more flexible cables, such as chargers, the right choice contributes to the lifespan of your cables. Invest wisely and provide your rabbits with the protection they need for a harmonious living environment.
