If the hamster is chewing the bars of the cage, nothing as long as you keep an eye on the cage bar and make sure that the hamster is not eating through the cage! If it is chewing the cage bars it's a sign that he wants to come out. However if your mean that you are feeding him wire then stop cos it'll get caught in the hamsters throat or organs and cause a very traumatic death!

I don't think hamsters can chew through metal. I have a hamster, sometimes he chews on the metal bars. He never bit a hole in the bar. When he chews on the bars, I just give him a chew toy.

Can hamsters chew on staples?

Hamsters will chew on anything. Some hamsters are chewers and others are not interested. They will chew on plastic, wood, metal and pretty much anything else if they want to. They need to chew to keep their incisors down as they grow. I've seen some pretty crazy chewing and I've yet to have seen a hamster break his teeth. Try some chews toys if you have a chewer. Little non-flavored Milkbones are always a favourite.

All rodents have to keep chewing to wear down their teeth, which never stop growing. I have seen squirrels chew through the heavy gauge wire on a chain link fence, and I have no doubt a mouse could chew through stainless steel if it was not too thick.

Hamster can and will chew on a variety of objects. Hamsters are rodents and chew to keep their teeth short. Cardboard is a material hamsters seem to enjoy. Cardboard itself is not harmful to hamsters, but it is possible the ink or glue used in the manufacturing of the product's boxes may health problems. However, many people provide their hamsters with boxes for chewing, hiding, or entertainment with no adverse effects.


How thick does a cage have to be so mice don't chew through it?

Mice cannot chew through metal bars, even if they are thin. They can, however, chew through wood, even if it is quite thick. So the solution is to use the right material, not to make the cage thick.
