Gwen is a bar chewer!
Ya.. I noticed it a couple nights ago; when she wakes up around 8pm she just starts going nuts. She seems more intent on escaping by means of chewing through her bars then running on her wheel for exercise! The person who gave her to me had a right to be concerned about this hamster escaping; it’s all she wants to do. Of course I’m not worried about her escaping /my/bin cage, but the bar chewing it a no, no.
I’m able to distract her for a time but she always goes back to it. I think im going to have to take her out more for playtime. I set up her playpen the other night but she managed to find a way to climb the bars in such a way that she could escape! Lol. I have a hamster ball but I always feel weird about putting them in those things.
So the solution; switch Gwendolyn’s bin cage with the 29 gallon tank I had one of my male gerbils in. The tank its pretty much the same size as the bin, only now she cant chew on any bars! It’s a good trade of for her, but not for me! That little gerbil will probably have all the sawdust kicked out onto the floor by the time I wake up lol.
That crazy little ham, she has so much energy its suprising! Im not use to an overly hyper ham.
