Arrived bent out of shape
Not sure if it started like this or if it happened during transit, but the wheel had been slightly squeezed into an oval, so it makes a terrible, loud rattle when it spins.
Ware Large Wheel
Very unstable and wobbles. The base is not made of sturdy materials. Wheel itself is fine, but base doesn't support the weight of the animal in motion without shaking & our hedgehog is too scared to play on it. I want to return it.
Squeaks too loud
This is supposed to be a quiet wheel but it still keeps you awake at night. And since learned about how it can cause bumble foot.
Perfect for us
We loved our old saucer-wheels, but when I switched to using coco-fiber bedding they started getting jammed and the mice could no longer use them. The coco-fiber works great for absorbing smells, so it stays and the old saucer wheels had to go. Switching to these wheels turned out to be a big bonus in the CLEANLINESS department. The natural advantages of this design are helped by the coco-fiber (works kind of like flour on dough), and they hardly ever get anything sticking to them. The manufacturer recommends vegetable oil if (when) the wheel squeaks. I find that petroleum jelly (AKA Vaseline white petroleum) works better and lasts a lot longer, and is still safe for my mice. Mine are QUIETER than the saucer design as I am currently using them. They could be even quieter if I used zip ties to secure the side that doesn't hook, which I will probably do at some point. This wheel can be used either sitting on the bedding or hanging from wire sides or tops of the cage. My DIY mouse bins have 1/4" mesh ceilings made out of basically the same material as this wheel, and my wheels are hanging from the ceiling hooked through that. The wheel hangs down by about 10" when mounted this way. I got medium wheels for my larger bins and small wheels for my smaller bins, but I find that the medium size works much better for mice. They often run in pairs and I have seen up to five mice on the wheel at one time. The small size is OK too, but for multiple mice I definitely recommend the MEDIUM (8") wheel. At this time, the small wheel is available from Chewy under a different listing - keep an eye on the labeling and measurements to make sure that you are getting what you want!
hedgehog love it
My hedgehog loves this wheel so much only bad part is that I broke it somehow but when she poops on it it doesn’t stick as much and the other wheels I have had easy clean up as well
Wheel of DOom
My chinchilla hates this wheel. Her body seems to big and she is having trouble spinning in this wheel. It's too constrictive.
nice for the price
Great for chinchilla hangs on the wire cage so it doesnt tip.
make it stop
My hamster got bigger so I had to buy a bigger wheel and chose this one cuz it said silent….well there is nothing silent about it. It’s irritating to buy a product off of what it says and does the opposite. I wish I could send a video so everyone can hear it
Exercising!
Great wheel.Pretty quiet.Perfect for the hamster.Good price!
