Default Re: Cage biting how to deal with it?

My syran girl lives in a Barney and she too chews the bars. It drives me mental when she wakes me up in the night sometimes, but I have learnt to accept it. She seems happy in the cage otherwise, she has a proper sized wheel, many hides and tunnels and chew toys. I chalk it up to the fact she spent the first 4 months of her life in a tiny *tiny* tank at the pet shop adoption section with nothing to do but climb on top of her water bottle chew the wire mesh covering the top. When I got her she had a sore on her nose from it.

Usually if she wakes me up in the night, I start talking to her from my bed (the cage is in my bedroom) and she stops. This sort of tells me it's habit and if I distract her for a moment, she forgets about it.
