Pet Exercise Wheel, Pet Wheel for Sugar Gliders, Rats--Stealth Wheel; Blue XMount by Atticworx

This is the best wheel I have come across for sugar gliders. It prevents the possibility of a tail getting wrapped around any moving parts. It's QUIET which is one of the best things. When I received it brand new, the mesh was all wavy from manufacturing and shipping. I used boiling hot water to relax the new plastic mesh, and smoothed it out with my hands. It worked, and now the wheel is perfect. I had tried wodent wheels and silent spinners before this. I think the little openings in the wodent wheel kept catching my little guys legs. he has a wide hind leg running posture, and the wodent wheel only exacerbated this, it appeared painful. But this wheel by atticworx is awesome. He doesn't have anywhere to hurt himself on it. This wheel is by far the easiest to clean. I'll admit that I was held back buy the large price tag at first, but when my little guy had to be temporarily moved to a smaller cage, I knew his usage of the wheel would increase, and the silient spinner is a temporary thing for a travel situation. I can say this wheel is totally worth the investment. Don't even waster your time or money with those other wheels. And if there is one thing a small fast animal would like in their cage above all else, it's a nice wheel. Don't skimp out and your be will be healthier and happier.

Mounting hardware not great... missing a washer that I went to the hardware store to get. Wheel doesn't spin true and is slightly warped. Not a deal breaker but definitely not perfect. Ball bearings silent and my suggies don't keep me up at night playing so still earned 3 stars even after the trouble.

My rats love it. The quality of the bearing is superior. It turns smooth and quiet so far, been a few months. It did take a fair amount of time for them to get used to but once they did they seem to love it. Aside from the bearing it is made from pretty cheap parts. Not flimsy just not expensive. The back bars are PVC, the edges of the wheel are bucket lids, and the mesh is plastic. They whole thing is quality and well built I just don't know if it deserves such a hefty price tag. Unfortunately there are no alternatives.

After having an absolute nightmare of a time with those Wodent Wheels (My glider had to have her tail amputated multiple times because the thing DE-GLOVED her tail and the ensuing complications of healing since gliders are susceptible to self-mutilation!!) these things are like a dream come true. I have a 9" black one for our travel cage and this 12" one for their normal cage. They love it. They use it all the time, it's incredibly safe and easy to clean. It comes with the option for an automatic nail clipper which was just super-fine sandpaper attached to the outside but that didn't make any difference so we still had to trim. That is not a big deal for me at all as long as my gliders are all safe! The wheel is absolutely silent-all you hear is their little feet hitting the plastic hard to gain speed. Please do yourself a favor if you have sugar gliders and buy one of these because it's not worth the pain of amputation and healing if you buy a Wodent Wheel!

I ordered a wheel in october and it was wobbly. Didnt feel like going through the hassle of returning it. Thought maybe just a flaw with the wheel and the cage was a little flimsy. I ordered two more got them yesterday and they are wobbly also.And the two cages are well built. So its the wheels and not the cages. Its a hassel to return these things .I sent an email to atticworx waiting for a response.

The item works as designed, my sugar gliders can use this all night without disturbing me while i sleep. However, i am disappointed in the quality of the materials. I've had the item less than 6 months and the black bar holding the ends of mesh together around the wheel started to give about 2 months after purchasing it and today, it fell off completely. I've not heard of others having this issue so I'm hoping it was just a fluke. Either way, i have to purchase a replacement from another seller because i am concerned about their toes getting pinched or hands cut during use. For over 50.00 each, I'm afraid I'll end up having to spend 100.00 a year to keep them with a wheel at this rate, lol.

Best wheel for sugar gliders!!! My only complaint is it came to me with a hook that was bent and the wheel when it spins wobbles. I think thats just poor packaging
