Hi,

I recently upgraded my hamster to a hamster heaven cage, which is great and Nibbles seems really happy in her new space. The only downside is that since moving in, she seems to have stopped going on her wheel. In her previous cage, the wheel was attached to the side of the cage and she ran on it regularly but it is now freestanding due to the fact that there isn’t room to attach it to the side, with the two ledges.

I used to often hear her in the night on her wheel but since moving I haven’t heard her once. It’s not fixed or secured so I don’t know if it’s because it feels too unstable to her? I’d like to fix it to the side but I think I could only do that if I remove a shelf and she goes on both shelves regularly and likes hanging out in the little houses, so I’m slightly loathe to do that.

Has anyone else encountered this problem with this cage and did you manage to find a solution?
