Help with new hammy

[SKB_Hamsters]

It better to leave him in the bigger cage: It can take them a little while to settle into a new cage. I would make sure he has plenty of enrichment in the cage to keep him occupied the busier the cage the better but it sound like youve already done this already. Give him deep bedding if you havent alread so he can dig burrows. Areas where he is chewing put something else nearby which he may chew instead- whimzee dog chews are a great for hamsters to chew on. Even scatter his food around his cage if he food motivated so he more focused on forgaing then chewing on the bars.

One of my dwarfs would chew only one part of her cage. I had some acrylic which i covered these areas with and she didnt chew anywhere else.
