He keeps biting it. Im starting to worry because if he bites a lot isnt it dangerous? Please help. He already bit before.
I had a teddy bear hamster once and he would always chew on the bars on the cage. All the time! They are just sharpening their teeth, kinda like a cat scratching on furniture. It is completely safe!
I would recommend getting some chew blocks for him to prevent the biting. Hamsters teeth never stop growing! some getting some chew blocks would be advisable. Any questions regarding hamsters?. Feel free to email me, my email is on my profile.
For the person who said their hamster chews on the bars of it's cage and it's fine, they are wrong. Chewing on those bars can give your hamster brain damage and deformed teeth. See, this is why you should'nt really buy those commercial cages because they're made of cheap plastic that your hamster can ingest and sicken itself with. Do you have a lot of yew toys for your hamster? Chew toys are a neccesitie as hamsters teeth never stop growing, they need to wear them down on something healthy like wood or carrots. Not plastic. I'd recommend either replacing the chewed tubes and buying more chew toys or getting a 20 gallon aquarium for your hamster. People will say there isn't enough ventilation but as long as you get a screen cover it will be fine, trust me.
It can be dangerous if he accidentally swallows a piece of plastic. And some of the plastic can break and be sharp enough to cut him. I would take them out for now and give him something else he can chew on.
