Ah, wonder if that's why Nyra never strayed - we had doors either end of those rooms closed when she was smaller. Weird!
Re: diameter, checked with tape and I have three sizes for different things. In left photo it's not clear but conduit either side of switch is different sizes. Upper is 13mm as it's covering standard power cord, lower is 7mm over flat wire. I also use 16mm for covering a combo of both types elsewhere, and 13mm again on TV co-axial. TBC...

7mm is good for any flat wires (eg.. transformer lead to digital piano) and 13mm is my go-to for most bigger stuff..
I got split tubing cos it's easier to fit over (though can still be a PITA!) and for things like piano transformer wrapped electrician's tape around the very end so it doesn't easily shift and expose wiring - everything else I just had the tube.
And yeah, about $8-10 for 3m, depending on diameter, at Bunnings. All the best with it!

@imalcolm @NanoRaptor @mnemonicoverload Guess what I’m trying to repair tonight, and why!!!!
(Say hello to Cowboy, his blindness does not slow him or his teeth down in any way, and his ears are up because Violet is having a sleepover and it is Taylor Swift high volume madness right now)

@imalcolm @mnemonicoverload Moppet was the same. I kept her to just two rooms, and after a year of that I realised I'd forgotten for weeks to put up the barrier to the rest of the house. In all of the two years I had with her, she never once strayed past that doorway.
What's the diameter of the ducting that's been working for you? I believe I need a trip to bunnings.
Nanoraptor
@mnemonicoverload Absolutely remove them from their reach! They are gnawers, and will go through a 240v lead and conductor in one effortless nip. I've seen one do what I thought was a quick driveby sniff of an ADB mouse cord, and it was snipped clean through without me seeing it happening and I was looking straight at it!
I've heard people say corrugated cable ducting works, but it has to be larger than a certain diameter.

Our house rabbit defines her home "range" as the connected dining and living rooms, and weirdly never goes beyond.
Happily this meant I only had to bunny-proof two rooms instead of a whole house.
After having wires for landline, TV co-axial, internet and floor lamp destroyed by gnawing, I tried corrugated ducting - it worked like a charm!
She gnawed some initially so I replaced - far cheaper/easier than rewiring(!) - but after that she lost all interest in it.

Honestly that’s a pretty tidy crosscut, little bun.
