My Bertie hamster is provided with lots of good wooden toys to chew on. They do need to chew to keep their teeth down. To be fair to him, he does chew on his house, but he prefers metal. I recently upgraded his rather crappy cage to an aquarium, and as there's no bars to chew on but he's discovered the roof.

The Hamster Formerly Known As Heidi has always lived in an aquarium; the metal-chewing is when she can read the roof. I came in one day to find she'd managed to thin the metal enough to pierce it with her teeth, and there was a terrifying 2" long sliver of perforated steel pointing down from the roof. I'm astonished she hasdn't impaled herself...

The gerbils lived in a cage with bars, and used to get little bald patches on their noses from too much sticking them through the bars to nibble.
