Yes, and they can get electrocuted. It damages your stuff too. So you better cover the wires or cover them with something that tastes disgusting, anything! Just get your rabbits away from wires.
There are many things you might use to cover wires. Look in hardware stores, home improvement stores, electronics/computer stores, and auto supply stores. For example:
- Split loom aka convoluted tubing (a corrugated plastic tube split down one side), braided sleeving (nylon or metal expandable tubing), or a garden hose slit down one side - be careful, because some rabbits decide to chew on these too, in which case you'll have to try something more heavy-duty!
- Floor covers (hard plastic or metal steps that sit on top of your wires - flat on top, tapered at the edges to avoid tripping hazard)
- Wiring ducts aka raceways (hard plastic or metal rectangle tubes that encase your wires attach to the floor or wall)
- Hide wires behind or below furniture the rabbit can't get to - be careful, because rabbits can get into surprisingly small spaces!
- Wire clips, aka clamps, hooks, loops, straps, mounts (plastic, metal, or velcro tools that hold your wires and attach them to the wall high above the rabbit's reach)
- Block off areas with plexiglass/plastic sheets (some hardware stores will cut and drill it for you, so you can make a custom fit), wire grids (from wire storage cubing), baby gates - or wood or mesh, but the rabbit might chew on these, which can be dangerous
- Block off the area with packing tape sticky side out - be careful, because dust and fur can make the tape not sticky anymore and you'll need to replace it; and take it away if the rabbit eats any!
Wires are only one of many possible household dangers that could affect your rabbit. Anywhere you let your rabbit out to play should be bunny-proofed, especially if the bunny won't be supervised. See the related links below for some ideas.

Can pet rabbits eat bottle brush branches?
Rabbits should not eat any materials that are not natural. They may nibble on many things because they are curious, but the only safe chew toys for rabbits, and other small pets, are untreated wood (preferably NOT from outside unless you know about wood toxicity and pesticides), hay, clean cardboard boxes (no glue or labels) and commercial pet chew toys. Rabbits and other small pets are not actually eating these toys. They are chewing on them to keep their teeth healthy. Small mammals that are kept as pets, especially rodents, have teeth that grow all the time (rabbits do too, but they are not rodents). These animals need appropriate things to chew on to keep their teeth from getting too long. Without proper chew toys, their teeth can grow so long that they cannot eat properly.
