Hi, I am at my wits end trying to figure out how to handle my hamster.

She has a 100cm x 50cm cage as this was the biggest I could find. Every night and day she chews on the bars and climbs them. I get her out multiple times a day but however big of a space I give her to run around (whole rooms) she just goes straight to the corners and tries to dig or climb out of the room.

I am very worried because I have read this to be a sign of stress but I give her lots to do and lots of space to roam and she doesn't seem to like anything.

For backstory, I adopted her about four months ago but I have no idea about her previous home. I have had lots of hamsters and other small pets over the years and never had this issue to this extent.

Any suggestions would be very very helpful as I am so worried.
Thank you
