Black Bear
Black bear hamsters obsessive chewing problem, can you help us out?
My sisters black bear hamster has a really bad habit wich is chewing on the bars on his cage. We don't want to try putting soap onto the cage bars becasue were afraid it might hurt him. And putting him into an aqarium isn't an option seeing as we also have two highly curious cats! Do you know any other methods that won't hurt him, and is easy to do.
It is normal for hamsters to be chewing and gnawing on anything they can get their teeth into!
Hamsters are rodents and therefore their teeth grow continuously. This means that a hamster needs to grind its teeth down regularly to stop them from overgrowing and the hamster does this by gnawing on something hard. If a hamster had nothing to gnaw on to keep its teeth in trim the teeth may overgrow and could puncture the mouth or jaw.
Many hamsters will use the bars of the cage to gnaw on.
You can give them the following to gnaw on too -
Wooden chews available from pet shops.
Hard dog biscuits will also help the hamster to keep its teeth trim.
Chew bones (small ones) available in pet shops for dogs
Tubes of toilet rolls
My dwarfie used to even chew her exercise wheel until I removed it out and put in a moulded one in its place!!!!!
