Rat's Chewing!!!

[OiFaceJenn]

My rat is having a chewing problem as well, but not on her cage. She's chewing up everything in my room, my down blanket, all my stuffed animals, some of my shirts, and even my speaker wires. I don't know how to get her to stop so if you know anything please tell me. I let her out all the time, and I feel bad keeping her in there because she can't stop chewing on my stuff. Please help

I have a female rat. She is still a "baby" I guess. She doesn't chew at all on anything besides her treats and things. But, if your rats keep escaping I have a question for you. Are your rats females or males? Females are more prone to escaping and males just like to hang out. This is because females' instincts are to look for food. We had to change our rat's cage because the wires were too thick and she could squeeze through them. We've had no more problems with her getting out since.
