They can hurt themselves by chewing the bars so it's best to try to put a stop to it if you can, not rewarding it with attention can help, putting cardboard through the bars if he chews in one particular spot is also good.
Plenty of enrichment in the cage often resolves the problem.
There's a thread here for some ideas.
