my lovely chinchilla ate keyboard cable and some other wires too
everything was ofline so she is ok, but me is not...i use screen keyboard to tape all this, this is so hard...
last time when similar accident happened with my keyboard i copied letter by letter with my mouse composing words in WordPad

and now the worst is that every answer will take a lot of time

and other gift i like very much
it was made for my b-day
Wrong! He bites everything! Power cords, cables, paper, doors, the carpet. And if he doesn't bite it, he scratches it. He doesn't eat a lot, just a couple of bites, but we have to be watching him the whole time. Apparently food isn't enough, he likes anything crunchy. Kiddie doors, the kind that keeps a baby in a room are useless, as he can easily jump over them. We love our rabbit though, and we're keeping him despite the amount of care needed.
rodents...
i really think now is the time to reconsider shifting to wireless.
perhaps your lovely chinchilla was trying to tell you something like taking some break upon your busy days..
..that,. or the cables must have been delicious
Glad you are back up and running now though
that's really sucks
