From #11, My mates rabbit did this!

Plain rubber flex running along base of wall… not clipped or protected or anything…

The rabbits’ fine, by the way.

This one reminds me of the SWA I left overnight in a trench that hadn't been backfilled. The cable just passed through the corner of a field containing a horse, and in the morning the SWA looked like the above.
The horse also survived, possibly because the cable wasn't energised.

They chew the PVC to control the constant growth of their teeth.

I was once told by an old timer that (apart from the fact that the little feckers will eat anything anyway...) in the earlier formulations of PVC plastisers a sugar based ingredient had been used, so there was actual nutritional value in it. Whether that's true or not I've never been sure, but sounds highly plausible.
