Thanks for clearing things up!

Kendrick seems to chew the bars a lot, I've read that this can result in pain for hamsters! I've given her 3-4 pieces of wood (pet store bought) and a few other things to chew on, but she seems to be a lot more interested in chewing the bars instead.

I've tried the olive oil method and it seemed to work for a few hours, now she's back at it again, any remedies/idea which can alleviate this problem? I've heard that most grow out of this eventually but I don't want her to develop a habit of chewing the cages as she may hurt herself.

Thank you!
