Wodent Wheel Senior & Tail Shield - 11" running wheel for small pets

I have had this wheel for a couple months now. A little bit longer. It is still good. Spins very nicely.Pros: Wheel is very safe, Almost perfect size for a Syrian hamster if not a little big for one, Spins very nicely even without using cooking oil on the rod where it spins, and it is also very quiet. ( Which is a bit of a shame because I like the noise to fall asleep to and I also just like hearing my hamster run in it )... Last but not least my hamster loves this wheel.Cons: The height of the wheel to the wheel base is a bit short so When setting it up you have to dig the bedding out from underneath the wheel to get it to spin easier which also makes the stability of the wheel worse which we will get into next.Next the stability of the wheel is fine for the most part. If you are putting it ontop of bedding like me then it may be angled differently depending on how flat youve got your bedding. I would always be wary of it toppling over. But on flat ground it is pretty stable and I wouldnt worry about it toppling over. I would still try to wiegh the base down with some heavier bedding just in case.Personally for me I use string and tie it to my wire cage which does alleviate the bottom of the wheel hitting the bedding as much. I never had a problem with it toppling over.Cleaning the cage can be a little bit of a pain because of them using that little metal clip on the rod. You have to get a needle nose pliers or something similar to take that clip off to really clean the wheel. Luckily though its pretty basic on how the things go together just make sure not to lose the tiny metal clip and the plastic pieces which attach the running base together.Overall: This is one of the best wheels that you can get for a Syrian hamster, My hamster loves it, It is a very safe wheel for them as well, It is silent ( to silent for me ), It is hard to find other variations or colors for this wheel off of Amazon, Hard to take it apart without a needle nose pliers for cleaning, and can be difficult to secure to your cage depending on what cage you have. I totally recommend this wheel if you can secure the wheel to the cage ( just to be safe ).. Hamster loves the wheel.. Oh I already said that.

One of our Syrian female hamsters is fairly large, and so we wanted to get a larger wheel that is comfortable for her. This one works really well, the running surface is solid with no openings, and the hamster can get in easily.Do note that this wheel is tall, so it won't fit on your typical pet store cage which is too small for a Syrian hamster anyway.This wheel does sometimes get debris in it, which you can easily shake out. We have some other solid plastic wheels which I clean by just running water inside them, with this one I am not sure if the water would damage it or not (seems to be fine), and it is a little tricky drying it after you do that.But the hamster loooves this wheel.

I'm super happy with this purchase. It's sturdy, super quiet and runs very smoothly. My Syrian absolutely loves it!! 100% a must buy for hamster owners.

I was at first a bit wary about the price, but this one is definitely worth it. I had gone with another cheaper wheel at first, but that one was unbearably squeaky. This one is way better. It's not entirely quiet, of course; you can still hear the wheel turning and your pet's small feet running on it, but I have absolutely no issue sleeping with it in the same room. My hamster seems to enjoy it, too, and he's had no issues or injuries using it thus far. I would certainly recommend it over other wheels -- it's good quality, quiet, and not as expensive as some others.

Great silent wheel. Just a pain to clean but otherwise very quiet and stable.
