Yes that’s the problem with them, even when you coat them with several layers of paint they still go dirty over time and can not be cleaned properly. They work for hams that don’t tend to pee in their wheels. With my dwarf who peed in hers I just replaced the wheel every few months even after painting it as it felt unhygienic. I prefer wodent wheels or silent runners for them as they are plastic and come apart entirely for cleaning.
