Making the Pet Hamster Cage comfy

If you observe that it bites the bars because the cage is small or uncomfortable, you should consider changing the cage for a better one. If you have a large enough cage, you can choose to make it more comfortable for your pet hamster. For this, you can go ahead and add sawdust or natural beds. That way, its installation is possibly the best for your rodent.

In case they always bite the same side of the cage, it is possible that they have taken it out of habit. Try to block their access to that place to see if your pet hamster would forget. In case he or she continues to bite the cage from another place it is better to change the cage.

Another option is to place many toys in the cage so that in this way they forget to bite the cage. Instead, they can de-stress with the toys. You can find many of them for your pet rodent in specialized stores.

Try to always be attentive to their behavior and see if they get enough sleep during the day.
