Questions & Answers

how do I clip the wheel to my hamster cage

Answer by ChewyAug 12, 2019
The standing wire must first be removed. Once removed, you will place the clip between the cage bars and turn to secure in place.

Is this a suitable size for a large Syrian hamster?

Answer by ChewyDec 05, 2019
Either of these wheels is suitable for a larger Syrian hamster. Smaller and standard Syrian hamsters are better suited to the 8.5 inch size, while multi-hamster cages may benefit more from a larger wheel.

Is it quiet?

Answer by ChewyFeb 22, 2018
This exercise wheel is quiet.

What are the exact dimensions of the 8.5 inch wheel (height, width, depth)?

Answer by ChewyJun 21, 2018
This 8.5 inch wheel measures 8.5 Length x 5 Width x 9.5 Height inches and the 12 inch wheel measures 12.25 Length x 6.75 Width x 13.75 Height inches.

Not sure about this

I am not one to write negative reviews, but I am not sure about this wheel! Very difficult to pull the backing off the wheel in order to attach it to the cage

I am not one to write negative reviews, but I am not sure about this wheel! Very difficult to pull the backing off the wheel in order to attach it to the cage. Badly cut my finger trying to do so. Wheel also does not "sit" tightly on the cage. Also, not sure how much my chinchilla likes it. He has a different Kaytee wheel for another cage that he enjoys spinning around in. Probably should have bought that wheel again.

Pretty quiet for a standalone, but not great for attaching to a cage

When it’s standing alone, it does tip over when the Chinche runs really fast so it’s a hassle attaching it to a cage worked for a whileand then it broke

The wheel is sturdy

We bought two other wheels from pet shops for our Syrian hamster, Miss Ivory. Those wheels either broke or fell over (she was stuck under it!). This one is sturdy

We bought two other wheels from pet shops for our Syrian hamster, Miss Ivory. Those wheels either broke or fell over (she was stuck under it!). This one is sturdy and more trustworthy, yet easy for Miss Ivory to use. Recommend.

So Quiet

Finally Found The One! I have a Long-haired Syrian hamster. With his length, smaller exercise equipment keep his back arched awkwardly. I use a ball for a guinea

Finally Found The One! I have a Long-haired Syrian hamster. With his length, smaller exercise equipment keep his back arched awkwardly. I use a ball for a guinea pig and I finally found the perfect size wheel. It does not fit into his cage but Is set it into a large box with some water, snacks and bedding and he loves it. The wheel is very quiet. I found that using wheels attached to the cage did not work for larger hamsters and the attached wheel made loud thuds when used.

Noisy and vibrates

Hamster loves the wheel. Goes on it every night. It curates when he runs on it and makes noise. Would not recommend.

Absolutely awful

Literally sounds like a broken washing machine with a pair of shoes also banging in it from day one. Terrible when your hamster uses it for HOURS at night never

Literally sounds like a broken washing machine with a pair of shoes also banging in it from day one. Terrible when your hamster uses it for HOURS at night never will get sleep with this thing in your home unless it’s on the far end of your house and you will still hear it. Havent even had it but like a month and when it slows down it SCREECHES now too the entire time or if it barely moves at all. I’ve even tried oiling the inside with coconut oil to see if itd make it less loud and it didn’t help. Had to buy another one. 10 out of 10 recommend getting a silent runner off exotic nutrition if you want to save money but get a good wheel. Its the same price as this and actually silent. Or taking the plunge and getting the bucastate or niteangle wheels because this is a waste of money and if you live in an apartment like I do your neighbors will send in a noise complaint on you because its so loud Cant blame them either.

Way too hard to get onto cage

The piece to attach to the bars is so tight that its extremely hard to get on the cage. This needs to be redesigned.

It’s actually not for chinchillas. The thing in middle is complicated for them.

The pole in middle, makes it hard for my chinchilla to use
