hamsters have a natural desire to chew and this is because their teeth never stop growing-kind of like fingernails. it is not hurting them to chew on the bars of the cage , however it probably means that they are not being given enough things to chew on. try giving them different types of wood blocks made for small animals such as niblet munchies and bunny bites. this is flavored wood and most hamsters love it. you can also give them empty toilet paper rolls to keep them busy. to discourage them from chewing on the cage, you could try using some bitter apple funiture cream on the bars. good luck:)

Hamsters tend to bite on the cage bars, because:

-they want to get out

-they want attention

-they just like biting on the cage bars

It's nothing bad, normal, my hamster does it too.

Maybe garlic will help. Get the spread type and swipe some on bars
