Default Re: My Hamster and her cage bars

Thanks for the advice. She is only 10/11 weeks old. Her cage is massive we got the biggest one. I scatter her food before the evening starts and I make sure that she has plenty to do but still she chews and chews. At the moment her wheel is not in the cage as when it is in there she wont use it all she will do is hide in the corner next to it and yet again chew the bars. The wheel will be returned to the cage once she is strong enough to use it as just now she lacks the muscle mass. Her teeth ar healthy and she is steadily gaining weight each week so she may not be developing sores in her mouth. At first I suspected the chewing may just be because the bars are there as before we got her she lived in a tank not a cage. I am going to investigate the chinchilla sand option as I will be near a pet shop later on in the week.
