Chewers in a detolf

So I ended up moving that hamster and put my other hamster which was much calmer in it, and moving that hamster into a glass aquarium where she could do no further damage.
But now I've decided I'm going to get some plywood sheets and cut them to size and place them on each end and silicone it in.
It really depends how paranoid you get about this stuff, the only option that's completely hammy proof is getting a glass aquarium, which I understand is expensive and difficult to find.


Also I'm sorry for the late reply haha, still hope this is useful

Never too late! I got the detolf this week and will be biilding it up next week. I will have a look at mine when its set up and see if I can arrange things to block off the hole and distract her with other things.
