'The Great Escape' Hamster?

[ModularFurball53]

Hi All! =]

I'm new to the boards, but I recently bought a Cinnamon Syrian male, who I named Bunky. He loves sleeping, but when he is awake, he spends most of his time gnawing on the bars of his cage! I have only had him for a week now, but I have noticed that the bars are already beginning to show wear and tear.

I have provided him with loads of things to gnaw on - a mineral stone, cardboard, pasta, but he always ends up going back to gnawing the bars.

I'm worried he'll hurt himself.

I was going to buy him some toys today, so does anyone have any suggestions as to good toys for hamsters who gnaw on the bars?

And here's a pic, because I think he's cute.
