Bar biting

[originblue]

I can't get one of my chins to stop biting the bar on his cage. I'm really worried he's gonna hurt his mouth because he's been doing it every night. They've got plenty of wood twigs and toys and hay to chew, and they go for runs outside their cage. My other chin doesn't do it, I've no idea what I can do and I don't want him to get a poorly mouth! Plus it's pretty loud too.

my chins do this sometimes as well. Mainly my males. I haven't found a good deterrent for it yet other then trying to be there and stop him carefully.

Mine does it all the time, sometimes she will go on and on for what seems like forever. I try to not encourage her by giving in to what I think is her way of telling me she wants out, but I usually do just end up letting her out. Ive heard this isnt a good thing to do, teaches negative behavior etc.

My male does it when he wants attention or out of his cage. I walk out of the room. I never let him out when he does that or he will think he's being rewarded. I take him out when he has been good.
