My hamster won’t stop chewing on her cage. She has plenty of things to chew on but she won’t stop. What do I do?

Thanks for reaching out about Skittles. Possibly Skittles is attempting to escape and might need more exercise out of the cage. Maybe a hamster ball. Otherwise you need to provide a barrier to prevent chewing on the bars as hamsters can possibly fracture incisors. Good luck.
