Exclamation Help not eating, defecating or urinating and bar chewing

Help already booked vets for Saturday (was as soon as i could) but i want opinions from you guys


I have a female syrian (missy) recently adopted shes very friendly, hyperactive and fast shes approx 3months old. She is a constant bar chewer and destructive chewer and 1 of her teeth is longer than the other and both top are pointy (she was like this when i got her) she takes her food from her food bowl to put in her hoard but doesnt eat any of it and there are no signs of urine or faeces anywhere in her cage (throughly searched) which is strange she does drink normally tho ive had her for around a week.

Anyone got any opinions or anything would be appreciated.

They don't eat an awful lot so I'm sure if she is active and drinking well then she is having enough food.
May sure she has plenty things to do in the cage like boxes and tubes to trash. Try and block the areas she chews at with log bridges or maybe some cardboard woven through the bars. It;s a hard habit to break. Young hamsters like this are giddy and it takes a while to settle them down. Is the wheel big enough for her as running will keep her occupied.
Her teeth are likely OK but could have been broken on the bars so hopefully the vet with be able to tell you how they are. The upper teeth are much shorter and the bottom ones should not be splayed apart and they are actually surprisingly long.
