Pixie is planning to chew her way out of her zoo zone 1 where the water bottle should be but i taken that out along time ago and replaced it with a bowel its getting bigger i can fit my finger tip into there now! is there anyway to stop her from chew it into an even bigger hole without harming her and without her escapeing!!!

Get a bolt that fits through the hole and a large metal washer that is big enough to cover the hole. Put the metal washer on the inside so she cannot get at the hole with her teeth and attach the bolt with a nut at the back to keep it in place.
Put something in front of it for now or even tape over with duck tape temporarily. It is the air coming through that attracts them to it.

Jesse did the same with her Multy when she was on holiday, little tinker. As Souffle says, the metal washer and bolt will do the trick!

mimi started doing this some months ago too >.< i wish i knew about the nut and bolt though!! i used those flat wooden hamster toys a bit like puzle playground to block it off

I use the wooden build-a-puzzle from pets at home and cable tie them to the cage!
Thsi way if they still chew the area they are just chewing the wood away and it can b easliy replaced!
Ive covered the water bottle hole and only had to replace it once in about 4/5 months!
