They are silent but unless you need one that extends in height, one of the other two silent wheels would be cheaper. I do have the 21" one for our robo.

The Trixie wood one at £10 ish mentioned is silent. I have the 12" Silent Runner for our Syrian. It's an excellent wheel- costs more at £25 but it's safe and sturdy and mine has been going for a long time without any breakages or problems.

Either of the wood/cork ones you would want to paint with plastikote in case they get pee'd in or on (which is very likely!)

Don't get the Silent Runner from Rodipet though - it's cheaper to buy it in the Uk and the postage is less.

This is the Trixie silent one

You can paint both the cork and the wood with a couple of coats of plastikote - this one - it's water based and safe for pets. Doesn't really smell of anything.

I live in switzerland, so I think the postage for amazon UK would even be more expensive. Thanks for the heads up for the wooden wheel, I'll try and find the plastikote.
