Exclamation Bar Chewing

I have biscuit here and it's her 2nd day here. I gave her plenty of water, food, toys, interaction and playtime, wheel, chews and a HUGE cage. Next thing I know I wanted to put her in our living room so we can fix her wheel while she was sleeping. We were talking and she came out a couple of times to use the potty and have some water and food. But once I pick her up and place her in my room. I leave and come back to her intensively chewing the bars. Idk if this is an attention problem, she misses her family, she wants out or is it because it's only her 2nd night? Should I ignore?

Default Re: Bar Chewing

She hasn't had time to settle in yet so I would just ignore it for now as long as she has everything she needs including some things to chew on, whimzees are always good for chews.
Give her some time settle, don't change anything unless you have to or do anything more than spot cleaning so she can really make herself at home.
It may just be that moving her cage around unsettled her.

Default Re: Bar Chewing

My rescue was a bar chewer. It does settle down in most cases. Though mine is still a bar chewer. So I put her in a massive ZooZone 2 cage which is plastic, with a meshed top. She still gets up there and chews. Though not very often. Sometimes when hamsters have been in a tank at the pet shop, suddenly they have bars and they are fascinating to them! And hamsters being chewers, it's something else to chew on. Can be annoying to us, but it should calm down.

Cyper, I just got some Whimzee's today! They usually go down well with my hams.
