Our first hamster Valka, a female Syrian, is about 6 months old now and has been doing great in general until recently. She will eat out of our hands, doesn't bite, and has become tame. BUT in the past month, she has taken to monkey barring constantly. Eventually, we removed one level of her three-level large wooden enclosure to stop her, so she couldn't reach the bars so and hurt herself. She is constantly trying to chew her way through her wooden enclosure now.

We aren't sure what she needs. We know the enclosure is extra-large (The PawHut Big 3 Tier Enclosure with Slide Activity Center). She has a wheel, water, a variety of food, toys, and my daughter tries to change it up and make 'boredom breakers' out of toilet rolls filled with treats. We take her out at least once a day. We don't know what else to do?
