-BAR BITING-
- When a hamster excessively chews at the metal bars of a wire enclosure
- This is a stress and boredom related issue
- Usually found in a hamster who is suffering from lack of enrichment and/or a small enclosure.
- If not solved quick enough it may become a habit for attention
- It causes broken and misaligned teeth.
- MONKEY BARRING -
- When a hamster climbs the bars of a wire enclosure in attempt to escape
Very much like the first behavioral sign, it shows stress and boredom caused by the size or lack of enrichment in the enclosure.
- Hamsters are (unlike rats) not natural climber so this is a dangerous activity which can end in bad injury or even worse.
- The best solution is to upgrade the cage and perhaps the level of enrichment inside.q
