Default Bar chewing! How do i stop it????

The 2 corners she does it, could you block it with a toy? Have you got any of those wooden bendy bridges?
You could use cable ties to attach the bendy bridge to the corners he chews.
Does she sleep in your room? You might need to put her in another room so you can sleep.

The only sure fire way to prevent bar chewing is to use a tank-style cage. If the behaviour persists, I would look into it. x
