There's not a lot you can do in some cases, some are just pushers and bad ones. Males seem to be more likely to do it, esp around breeding season, but both males and females may do it.
If there's any air flow or give, the pushers will go at it almost nonstop. Some cages with doors that wiggle (esp glass doors that have a little give), you can stuff towels and such in there to try to take away the wiggle/give but once they perceive an area as 'weak', they will just keep going at it regardless.
You could try more out time, more than 30 min, like a few hours. but it may not help
You could try adding more cage stuff or try removing all cage stuff except the water bowl and see if either helps, but it may not.
Along those lines, you could try giving them something to push in the cage instead of the cage itself (like a 2 liter filled with water), but it may not help.
You could try moving to another type of cage, as in a smaller cage or different cage stype, but it may not help.
One of the pushers that was here, she does it bad, we would move her from the AP to a boaphile or proline back and forth every few months and it seemed to help, we treated her bad rub with silvadene from the vet.
With some it's just a constant struggle.
best of luck!
