What can be done to make a hamster stop chewing on the cage bars2007-11-24 22:16:38

It's very common for hamsters to chew on the bars. It may be one of those things you just have to live with.

GOOD LUCK. ours did the exact same thing... they are nocturnal. Which means they are more active at nite. Plus make sure he is fed daily. But he is just wanting out to roam around. But that wouldnt be a good idea... at least i dont think so..

Nothing.Hes gonna do that.Move him to another place where you cant hear him like down the basement or somewear.No wear cruel though.

since you have introduced chew toys, i will not mention it anymore then :).

sometimes, hamsters chew on the cage bar to catch your attention. Sometimes they need your attention, so try and see what it wants. :)

Good Luck :)

My hamster stopped chewing bars when I give him a running wheel. Though his cage is big, he was bored without wheel. So if you hamster hasn't a wheel, you can try to give him it - the wheel should have at least 8 inches in diameter for Syrian hamster and 6 inches for any dwarf hamster.

Or you can move him into a (at least!) 20 gallon long tank/bin with a wire mesh lid - then wouldn't be hot in there.

Give him something else to chew on, a rock, a piece of dry wood. improvise.
