Oh dear. Poor bun, hopefully he isn't hurt or anything. I would take him to the vets just to get checked over and make sure he isn't burned anywhere. Electricity has to get back to ground so it might have burnt his feet if it travelled through him. I think you were probably very lucky that he just got singed.
 
Poor little guy.

What treatment did the vet give as I'm not sure what you mean by syringed his face....has he got a burn or something?
 
sorry folks i put syringed instead of singed......omg blonde moment........bf's taken him to the vets and the vet said hes fine no other burns and just to keep an eye on him.....cant believe myself sometimes...:roll:
 
My thoughts are with you. I've been lucky and not had this happen to me, but there must be something magnetic about wires. When Flynn was younger he would just head for the cabling all the time. We got used to switching off the sockets which was just as well as he got under the Christmas tree and bit through the light cable. Had they been on, it may not have been a happy christmas for him. Thankfully, he seems to have learn't with age and if he's running free between the dining room ( which has been bunny proofed ) and the lounge ( which is not) we only have to say 'no Flynn' in a firm voice and he stops in his tracks. I wouldn't trust him unattended mind. Don't beat yourself up about it, it can happen so quickly. The important thing is hopefully he's lived to learn. My guess is that it happens more often than you think. I hope Oscar is back to his bouncy self soon.
 
yeh hes learnt his lesson....doesnt leave the bedroom now managed to get some pics of him ya can see wer iv had to trim his face :( poor oscar, altho i think hes milkin it for the attention as hes been getting loads lol

This has happened to me before. I know exactly how you are feeling. My bun blew all the lights in the house, it tripped and we were left in darkness. With my bunny I dont think he actually hurt himself. The bang was after he ran off but his mouth was all black. I shocked him more by my reaction. It is awful to go through but does happen. I thought my downstairs was bunny proofed but obviously not. I am extra careful now.

I think most of us will have to hold our hands up to bunny chewed wire, from personal experience I can say you are not the only one stupid enough!!:lol: I have just been lucky that my buns have not found the wires when they were live; I have had to replace two phone chargers and it took me a while to work out why the cd player only worked intermittently :oops: Half chewed wiring!! :roll:

So glad Oscar seems to be ok, fingers crossed he'll avoid wires from now on - somehow I'm not convinced tho!!:rolleyes: :lol:
 
Hi ,please don't blame yourself. Bunny's will get anywhere and everywhere and its only when something like that happens that you realise the precautions you have in place are not enough. SHort having absolutly no wires in the house its difficult to prevent this happening. Barney has chewed through the TV wire, luckily he wasn't hurt but if you saw what an obstacle course I made it you would be shocked that he's managed to get behind. Hope your bunny feels better and more confident soon.
