Prince had a lucky escape!!

Prince is a very lucky little rabbit!

I got home from work on Friday and couldn't find him anywhere. Eventually found him huddled behind the fridge looking very frightened indeed. I managed to pull him out, but when I looked saw that he had completely gutted the power cable!! There was just a length of white plastic casing with no wire inside!! How he survived that, I have no idea!!

Anyway, by chance we were going to the vet with Melanie for her jabs so I took Prince along. The vet checked his mouth and said luckily he'd not done any damage. The vet said he'd seen cats that had chewed power cables and blown a hole in the roof of their mouth so Prince was very lucky to escape without injury.

So Saturday morning was spent changing the power cable to the fridge. I've made a barrier out of metal office storage cubes so he can't get behind again. On saturday morning Rik went to stroke Prince and his fur stood on end like a pompom!! He must have given himself quite a nasty shock. It's just lucky that the fuse must have blown straight away.

Such a lucky escape. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if it had injured him or worse. I honestly thought that the gap behind the fridge was much too small for him to fit behind. I won't make that mistake again!
 
I had a bun that did the same thing - completely wrecked our fridge but surprisingly didn't hurt himself...apart from a lot of singed fur and whiskers. They don't learn though, as next time he came back in - he tried to get behind the fridge again :roll:

Glad your Prince is OK!
