I would put the flying saucer back - they get quite upset when things are taken away - sometimes a tiny wheel can even be too small for a robo as well but if you think the current wheel is big enough then stick with that and the flying saucer maybe.
Any wheel for a robo should be no smaller than 6" diameter really. Some are 5" and it's too small.

Yeah I completely understand the leaving it in, but Monty has a habit of moving all of his substrate and making his cage patchy, including near his wheel. That's why I tried to introduce slowly, as I don't want him falling out onto a plastic patch he makes during the night. I'll take caution with how I deal with the wheel. Thank you for your help!
