Bunny Proofing Tips

 Bunny-proofing is essentially making sure that your house or apartment is safe from bunnies, as they can be extremely destructive.

Designated Bunny Room

My first tip is to have a designated bunny room or space. This provides a secure area for your bunny with boundaries. Whether it's a living room, bedroom, office, or study, having a dedicated space helps protect your belongings.

Sofa Protection

Protecting your sofa is crucial. I use grids underneath and a matte laser cover to prevent chewing and stains. For sofas without covers, I stuff them with blankets and use wooden barriers to keep Cinnabun away.

Cord Management

Cords are irresistible to bunnies. Use cord protectors, wall protectors, or keep cords in baskets to prevent chewing. It saves you from protecting each cord individually.

Area Rugs

Rugs are essential, providing a non-slip surface for bunnies. They are particularly useful if your rabbit has a problem area or tends to chew on specific carpeted spaces.

Thoughtful Furniture Choices

Be mindful of furniture with easily chewable parts. Opt for furniture with smooth, thick surfaces to discourage chewing. Consider rearranging or redecorating if needed.

Edge Protection

Plastic bumpers are a lifesaver for protecting corners and edges. They're easy to attach and prevent your bunny from damaging itself or your furniture.

Baby Gates

Baby gates help set boundaries. I use a metal gate to keep Cinnabun out of certain rooms. It adds an extra layer of protection.

Pet Cameras

Invest in pet cameras, especially if your bunny roams freely. They provide real-time monitoring and notifications for added peace of mind.

Bunny-proofing is a trial-and-error process, and what works for me may differ for you. Share your bunny-proofing tips or let me know if any of these resonate with you. Thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. Bye, buns! 🐰

Cruel Irony

As a side note, bunny-proofing is crucial at all times. Even as I filmed this video, Cinnabun chewed my ring light cord, breaking it. It serves as a reminder that bunny-proofing is an ongoing necessity.
