Sadly since I was last on this site, Pip died.
I got another beautiful little Russian who I named Pumpkin, and she is gorgeous and great to handle. The only issue is she is such a bad cage biter.
I am aware of several factors that might be causing it, none of which I can actually do anything about
: her cage is perhaps too small - I wish I could get her more space but I am restricted financially; Bubbles, our lovely male Russian, is also right next door. I know this is not ideal, but I cannot move the cages because there is literally nowhere else that is safe for them.
Is there anything I can do to stop her from chewing the bars? It breaks my heart every time I see her gnawing away because it looks so frantic. She does get lots of exercise outside the cage, and usually she bites the bars because she wants to come out, but she would be in her ball all day if she had it her way which is just not practically possible.
I am running out of ideas.
