I think that Mitch is of course right about using metal conduit to 
protect cables in the most extreme cases, but plastic pipe--polyethylene 
or PVC--is pretty effective.  We use it on the sea floor and over land 
with hydrophone cables to protect against damage from crabs and other 
gnawing, pinching, scratching, digging critters and it usually lasts a 
long time.
