My Bercy(~9mo) chews on the bars of his cage like it is his life’s purpose. When I say 24/7, I mean 24/7. I have no idea what to do. He has a consistent feeding schedule every day, gets plenty of his vegetables, a serving of pellets, hay at all times, filtered water at all times. He has 2 brothers, I have also tried to separate him from them to see if that’s his problem and nothing changes. He has so many toys/wood chews, I’ve been buying him more weekly just to see if anything diverts his attention, but nothing. I even took him in for a check up, and he’s healthy. Eats and drinks, plays, squeaks, but just wants to chew. His cage is now 26 sq. feet, so I doubt space is an issue. He gets out for floor time plenty. Since there is only one section of his cage with bars, sometimes I wrap them tightly in a clean fitted sheet, and he will try destroying the sheet to get to them, forcing me to remove it. I haven’t slept all night in WEEKS. I try giving his nose a quick poke when he does it because it usually annoys him to the point that he’ll stop for 5 seconds max. I feel like I’ve tried everything. I might be forced to change the bars out for something else, but I don’t know what that would be, and god forbid he tried to chew that too. I am at a complete loss. He’s doing it right now…
