Bar chewing

[Bethers]

So i cleaned my hammys cage for the first time on sunday and ever since then hes been chewing the bars on the cage, Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop it before it becomes an obsession? :/

Hi Bethers - How long have you had your hamster before you cleaned out the cage? Did you rearrange anything?

Bar biting can be a reaction to changes or stress. Here is a link to some very good advice written by Vectis and you'll be able to get some ideas to try:-

If you did change the layout in the cage, you might want to put things back as they were before the clean out as that might help.
