please can any1 advise on how to stop buster chewing my wooden doors and door frames he has different wood in his cage which he nibbles at but is taking chunks out the woodwork thank you in advance

The only thing I can suggest is to cover it with some sort of garden edging(metal or wood) that you edge the sides of grass with or paths. That's what I was going to try but it's too late to rescue mine now. As foot doors I would suggest the same, unfort my cupboards/walls & doors are to far gone to rescue as we didn't think f it before it was too late. Hope this helps.

This thread gives an example of how to rescue skirting boards, you may be able to adapt it for your needs. It may depend how much time they have out of the cage and whether you can watch them constantly. Ours are not out permanently and I found I can throw old towels down around the edge of the room or to block them getting under the doors etc. Not always succesful but it certainly curtails the chewing for a while.
