Thank you for your replies Fluffa and Amity. I agree that it seems a 'forced' method. I like the idea of making some sort of enclosure for him to explore. He definitely needs more stimulation than he currently gets as he's started to chew the bars again at night despite having a fairly big cage (Hamster Heaven) with a good amount of hiding places/toys/interest and nightly play time out of the cage which he seems to love. Just want him to be a happy ham and not a stressed out bar - chewer!
