As a rodent Mr Whiskers teeth are constantly growing and it can lead to some very serious health problems if he can't gnaw on something. Maybe you could try some of the wooden treats/toys available? My hamster likes to chew on old toilet roll tubes, nuts that are still in their shells as well as small pieces of hazel wood. Although she does still have a nibble on her bars.

oh, no he has lots of chews, I give him a hamster nibble bar every day, and as for the water he is too big to fit his head in the bowl let alone drown in it. my concern was more about the water getting contaminated. but thanks for the suggestion, I'l try giving him nets in shells sometime
