i adopted him. hes got special needs. but i can not get him to chew. i have bought him the bark pieces and now the fruit flavored wood pieces. i don't want his teeth to get to long they hurt him. what can i do to get him to chew or what works super well? hes not even chewing his cage.
Answers:
if he's an older hamster, he may not want to chew much. Baby hamsters chew up everything. Mine did. I had 5 over the span of 5yrs. But keep the wood chips in there and if he/she feels the erge, they will chew. As long as it chews it's food, it'll be fine. I worried about the same thing with mine.
Milkbone original dog biscuts work like a charm. They love the flavor and they wear down teeth. Just be sure they don't contain garlic in the flavor. It is VERY bad on the digestive track. Maybe a dab of peanut butter would help "inspire" him.
maybe you should try leaving the treat in the cage for a while i know when i first got my hamster he wouldnt eat but after a few days of leaving him alone and not bothering to try and make him eat he started eating so maybe just leave the treat in his cage for a day and then the next day check to see if it has any chew or scratch marks on it if you not u might want to get him checked he could be sick unless uve already had him checked then idk
