Not really - it’s one of those big standard tiny ones! I can’t remember exactly the size but no bigger than 6 or 7”. I would take it out. If you have a baby hamster of about 6 weeks they are ok without a wheel for a couple of weeks, and/or just having one in a playpen during the second week. This is what some breeders do to prevent them over running and having a heart attack. I think it is not that common for it to happen though. If your hamster isn’t a baby they could go quite stir crazy without a wheel - so you’d have to see - it might be ok until the new wheel comes but if they start bar chewing I’d put the small wheel in until the bigger one arrives. Should be ok for a week, say.
