Exotic Nutrition Silent Runner Small Animal Exercise Wheel

First, when I ordered the wheel I got dog treats instead. Which I’m thinking was just a shipping problem but, I called and I got the wheel reshipped very easily. So thank you Chewy for good customer service. The wheel was a lot bigger then I thought. It was kinda hard to put in my Syrian’s bin cage. I had to angle the wheel and put betting in the back of it because it kept rubbing against the metal leg that was holding the wheel. My Syrian hasn’t tried it yet but I spun the wheel and it doesn’t spin as smoothly as his older louder wheel. I’m hoping my Hammy will like it though. I’m also hoping it quiet.

My Syrian hamster, Buffy, loves her new wheel! I got the 12 inch. She is able to fit in it and run with no curve in her back. It moves easily with her efforts and it's so quiet I sometimes don't even know she's using it. She is SO much happier with this wheel than with the small terrible wheel that came in the starter cage I had her in at first. Syrians need these bigger options. It was delivered very quickly, even right before Christmas!

My gerbils love this wheel. Their habitat is in my bedroom and the noise is so quiet that it never wakes me up. I tighten the nut every few weeks, and after about 4 months of use it's still nice and quiet and spins smoothly. I suspend it upside down from the lid of their tank by wrapping wires between the mesh lid and the wheel's base. Works great!

Your not assembling it right if you have a tank don't put it flat on glass at the bottom this will result in banging you have to put it on a little bedding and then put bedding over the metal part on the bottom also the long piece should be in the middle when assembled and the washer screw should be screwed through the inside very difficult but yet it is very silent

My Syrian loves her wheel! She uses it all the time! Only problem is that she's a pretty big and heavy hamster so the wheel has definitely taken a toll from being used every day. It stopped being silent after about 2 weeks.

As other people have said, it's silent for about a month. That said, the mice love it! They like to get it going, stick their heads out the front and swing back and forth as it stops. One of them, and I'm rather impressed with her skills, gets it going as fast as she can, then throws herself onto the outside of the center plastic with her legs spread wide and rides on that as it spins. Mousy amusement park, apparently.

I have used this wheel before and have run into the same issue every time. The wheel is silent for a couple months and then the bearing in the middle wears out or something and it gets as squeaky as a wire wheel which is disappointing for the price.

I keep seeing people review this an say it’s not squeaking! When I got mine for my syrian hamster it was squeaking so badly to where I couldn’t sleep at night! I hope this helped!

The wheel is a little loose, I know some people said they just tightened it up, but I’m not sure how to :( My hamsters do like running in it tho, other than one— she liked her previous wheel better so I put it back(she’s a dwarf hamster)

This wheel is fantastic! It’s very sturdy and it’s truly silent! Out of the 4 wheels I’ve bought this month, this one by far is a keeper! I highly recommend :)
