Hamsters bite cage bars due to stress, boredom, or lack of space. To stop this behavior, provide a larger cage, plenty of toys, and opportunities for burrowing and exploration. Ensure your hamster has a wheel for exercise. Covering the cage with a cloth at night can also reduce stress. Avoid wire cages if possible.
