Product Information

Your hamster’s back should not arch when they run on the wheel because of the risk of spinal discomfort and injuries. Pros: clear design goes with any cage set up, heavy base won’t shift around as your hamster runs on it, very quiet! My 42 years of being on this planet I have never owned a hamster wheel that doesn't make noise and runs so smoothly! If you don’t believe me, check out this heartbreaking post from a Hamster Rescue in Southern California showing a hamster who broke two legs in a mesh wheel.

No one had heard of this happening so I went forward with using these wheels, although I did use some non-toxic school glue to fill in the gaps just in case. I've heard plastic wheels are bad because they can be chewed but I saw a youtube video by munchie's place that said the niteangel acrylic wheel is a good option because it's very hard plastic so it's difficult for them to chew it. I have a pet cam (the Wyze 2) so I can watch my hamster’s behavior while I’m sleeping to make sure their wheels are working well for them. This wheel also has a plastic covering on the front with three entrance holes, which gives your dwarf hamster some privacy when running on the wheel and helps prevent them from being flung off the wheel if they run too fast.Potential safety hazard : this wheel is comprised of two halves, the white back part and then the colorful tip that joins with the wheel about midway through the running track. This wheel is very quiet and has double ball bearings to ensure that the wheel turns smoothly which makes it easy for small species of hamsters to run on without exerting too much energy to get the wheel spinning. I currently use the size M/10” for my larger robo, Steven (40g), and the size S/8” for my smaller robo, Sofia (25g). When choosing the best wheel for your hamster there are three factors you need to consider which include the size, material, and safety. I have these cages set up in case of earthquake or wildfire, as both are looming realities on the west coast of the US these days!

The surface is made of strong acrylic that makes it easy to clean and wipe down if you have a hamster that urinates on the wheel. Hamsters come in many shapes and sizes, how do I evaluate if the wheel size is correct for my hamster?However, this might be a good option for those of you with barred cages or limited access to other wheels. Not every hamster wheel is created equal and there are so many different types, sizes, and brands to choose from. I did have the exotic nutrition silent runner (orange) but after a while it started to come loose and make a bunch of noise. It is so quiet and he just runs his little heart out, and when he stops, it is like a little swing for him. A young hamster may flip on their wheel as they are trying to learn- this is normal, although it is preferred if it can be avoided as big falls can cause injury to your hamster.
