Default Pickles' nose.

Since Pickles had the bleeding mouth incident a few weeks ago i've now noticed her nose looks to be inflamed and maybe with a little blood beneath it. Im still fairly sure this is due to her chewing at her bars all night so ferociously but ive tried everything i can think of to stop her. I put text books over the bars, i poke cardboard through them, i exercise her for longer, but she just wont stop chewing them even though she's making her face sore. I worry about her a lot and whether her face is hurting, but she acts totally normally, playing, eating, drinking, sleeping etc, she even lets me clean her nose with babywipes. Has anyone had similar problems?

Default Re: Pickles' nose.

Oh dear she is naughty. If she chews at a certain corner maybe try getting one of the log bridges and cable tying it over the area. With some hamsters you just cannot break the habit. They just enjoy doing it even if they hurt their noses.
The only solution is usually a tank type or bin cage.
