Hello, how does his cage look like? What's the size and are there enough toys/ hideouts inside? Sometimes bar biting is caused by a cage that is too small/ boredom.

Alternatively, are his teeth ok? Hamsters' teeth are constantly growing and they do need to file their teeth on something. You could provide him with a nice sterilised pebble, and the cardboard tube from the center of a tissue roll for this. If you have the budget, you can buy some whimzees for him to chew on.

You have to try to find out what's causing the bar biting and remove the cause, because it's very bad for him if he bar bites.
