Re: New hamster
Congratulations on Maple Syrup.
I've had a few cage chewers over the years, I always found weaving thick cardboard through the bars helped which they tackled instead, also whenever mine started chewing I would ignore them, the more attention you give them while they do it, the more they'll do it. Hamsters hate being ignored. I would praise and treat mine when they stopped but the moment they restarted it, I would walk away. I would go and tidy up, some housework or put on some music. Fortunately, they never did it for long, they preferred the treats. Whimzees are great for keeping them amused.
