Biting bars

Does this mean Angus is bored? He’s let out all the time we’re here to watch him and eventually he will be allowed out all the time it’s just because he’s a chewer I have to make sure everything’s safe for him.

It could be stress as well. Has he hay to chew?

Is he chewing them all the time or when certain things happen?

Hi, it's probably due to stress. Find out when he chews the bars so you can determine what causes it.

I think I’ve figured it out. It was only in one spot where he was biting the bars and the other side of his bars tucked in the corner is a roll of wrapping paper which he’d dragged nearer to the cage and chewed. I think that’s what he’s been doing all along :lol: I’ll keep an eye on him!

Our cage is in the living room, one side opens up in to the garden and the other in to the living room. They have full access to the garden and downstairs in our house, plenty to eat and lots of toys. They still chew on the bars when the cage is open so I don't feel guilty anymore :roll: I've noticed that they tend to chew at the corners rather than the doors at the front so I think they're just trying to extend their space like when they dig up the garden
