Default Why do mice chew wires?

Temporarily I taped it, but I guess I'm going to have to run wires thru
conduit into that pit to prevent this from happening again. I never
understand why mice chew wires. Wire insulation is not like food???? It
seems pointless why they chew wires....


if there was a small hole along the wire they probably
were trying to make the hole bigger so they could have a
nice home in there.

fix the wire and then caulk the hole completely shut and
they probably won't chew it again.
