Just been reading through the thread and WOAH! I never realised just how small my Freddy is! I weighed him recently and he was 138g and he turns one mid November!

Saying that, it makes me feel that if my hamster is a small one then 20cm wheels probably aren't worth it for most hamster owners (with Syrians of course!). When he runs in his 20cm TRIXIE Rodent Wheel, his back is level, but hamsters seem to have a convex spine when running on a level surface so technically a level back counts as arching.

He uses the 28cm version now and it is just the right size for him - honestly something a bit smaller would do him!

I'd also like to hear about flying saucers, I have the medium one but it is too small so I'm thinking about getting the 30cm TRIXIE running disc in blue and green with the square treads, any opinions?
