Default Syrian chewing through cage!

My Syrian Arya has been chewing on the plastic of her cage. She's in a meshed ZZ2 and managed to get her nose into the little holes that held a plastic detachable bit for holding hay/straw for guinea pigs. She left it well alone for a long time but I noticed last night that she'd made the holes a lot worse. I tried to plug them up with some chew sticks but she got through those in a flash and I'm wondering what else I can do to encourage her to stop this? I don't have enough money to buy her another cage for another month or so and I'm terrible with DIY (I'm willing to give it a try though) Is there anything anyone could recommend to deter her from chewing and make her cage a bit more secure again?

Thanks

I know some people put bolts and things through the holes. I'm not sure but I'll try and find it there was someone recently with the same sort of problem and they mentioned a bolt on chew I think. I'll see if I can find it!

Thank you for the tip I went out and got some of the bolt on toys and have now positioned them where she's been chewing. Fingers crossed she doesn't manage to get through those so easily!
