My Hamster Is Biting At The Cage. Is It Normal?

It's is totally normal, but if you want it to stop biting on it's cage get some chew toys for it at a local pet store. The only reason why it's biting the cage is because it's trying to file down its teeth. Trust me i had to raise them.

I had a hamster, and all he did was eat, sleep poo, pee, and bite his cage! He bit his cage 75% of the time! Hamsters and other rodents need to ware down their teeth, and you can buy them chew sticks, which kind of helps, but it depends on the hamster, their teeth never stop growing, and they need to keep the manageable, so chewing on wires or bars is a great contentity!

I agree with the one before me.  But, some hamsters we've had still bite at the cage when they have toys.  Sometimes so much that they bite their way out.

Yes it is true hamsters bite on things because some chewing is fun for them.  But continual biting on cage bars is a sign of extreme boredom and sometimes also stress.  Your hamster needs a cage in which he can be away from humans sometimes, and also burrow, for that is what they do in actual freedom.  He or she will also enjoy plenty of space, tunnels and wheels, and stimulating toys, and they should be changed on occasion.
