Re: Bar chewing?
Deeper substrate, tubes, scatter feed if you normally use a bowl, extend out of cage playtime, add different types of chew toys and hides. Rotate some of the toys and move toys around but not nest, toilet or water. Note how the change effects the hamsters bar chewing. Some hamsters don't like change others enjoy change.
I had hamsters who liked there toys/cage layout changed ever 5 - 7 days others were upset by any change. I had to get exactly the same toys etc in the same colour or they got upset/stressed and bar chewing would start.
