i think gavin has a sore, what can i do about this..? will this require a trip to the vets..?
and i too am very intrigued on how to stop this bar chewing. despite what i put in her cage and buying her salt licky things and stuff the only thing i have found gav is remotely interested in is toilet roll tubes. and i am not sure they're really that efficient at keeping her teeth down.

Hi Gav - It should heal on its own - just check that it doesnt get infected, or stay too long. Of course if she is a persistant bar chewer it may well do. You could try cable tying a wooden toy to the area where she bar chews so that she can chew that instead, or try waving cardbord strips in and out of the wires.
Memeber Princess Rhi had a terrible time with bar chewing and she managed to perspex part of the cage so that her hammy no longer hand access to the bars the link is here
Perspexed - Rhi -1 Bar Chewer - 0
Or you could try her in a cage with no bars like a zoozone, or Duna Multy or a glass tank if it get very bad.
