My ham has started bar chewing as well, he also lives in the hamster heaven and has beev very happy in it up until now. It's so upsetting seeing and hearing him frantically gnawing at the bars of the cage in the middle of the night! I normally love hearing him run in and wheel and just rustle around but now its just that horrible rattling metal noise, which keeps me awake and is just upsetting. Anyway, I love the cool mug idea, genius! I've also filled a plastic tub with ice cubes and put it in his cage with the lid on so he can sit on top of it or next to it to cool down. He normally lives in my bedroom but tonight I've had to move him to another room due to the noise and I feel terrible about it! It has comforted me a little to see on here than some other hams have also been bar biting during the hot weather and not just mine. Poor little things!
