Replacing wire on electric cooker

Options
My rabbits have chewed through the wire on my electric cooker!

It is hard-wired in!

Can an electrician replace just the wire, or do I need to think about buying a complete new cooker?!?

I can’t even say how I feel about the rabbits right now!!

    Cooker cable is generally easily replaceable.

    There's normally a cover on the back , secured by screws, where the cable terminates.

    Is there enough slack in the cable to just redo the ends and Connect up ?

    Be grateful the bunnies are still alive. :)

    And make sure you have isolated the electricity supply to the cooker feed before touching anything yourself.
