Please if anyone hs any ideas as to help this little one could u get back as soon as possible? thanks in advance,

Some hamsters just don't grow out of it, my friends hamster chewed on the bars til her nose was raw and somehow her knees got raw too. You might want to put her in a tank that way she can't chew, or try something like that bitter apple spray that you get at the pet store, that might help. But a Tank might be the best way to go.
