  Hi!! I have recently been giving my bunny more space to roam as he does better with going back to his litter box when he needs to go. The only problem I’m having is he will try to bite on wires occasionally. He doesn’t do it often but he does it enough that I can’t leave the room without worrying he will go to it. I’ve moved the wires that I can but there are some that cannot be moved because they are connected to the wall. I’ve seen some cord covers online but many are just plastic and I think he will be able to chew through it. Any recommendations for other ways I can keep him from the cords or other materials to cover them with?
  
  Thanks in advance

  Since you mentioned they are connected to the wall, you could try putting some NIC grids to cover off those areas

  And if you can’t do NIC grids and kurottabun said, you can resort to PVC piping, it doesn’t look the most pleasant but they can’t chew through that, and it is better than those plastic cord covers

  Oh my gosh, don’t rabbits just have a taste for wires?! My first rabbit, Charlotte, destroyed so many in her time. I’ve recently ordered some mesh wire covers. Haven’t received them yet, but the customer reviews state that they are great for wire-chewing cats. Maybe it is also bunny-resistant? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075QD7RP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
