Re: 100cm Barney refiew
The one with the swirly spiral is the Trixie wheel. I didn't get a choice of colour with mine - pet planet was the only place that had the Wobust wheel and it arrived very dirty and with the sticker missing! If I got one again I'd get it from Rodipet - price is about the same even with postage and they also have a fairly good colour choice and sell spare parts.
Wookie - is the Trixie wheel big enough for Chewie? The 27cm wodent wheel is slightly smaller. Fine for the average syrian, but Charlie is quite big and I had to go up to the 30cm Wobust wheel.
Bertie - whereabouts in the cage were you able to hang the wheel from? Just wondered how much the top door limits hanging placement.
I actually think the Wobust wheel is safer hung upside down as the gap between the stand and the wheel is then at the top. When it was on the cage floor, Charlie tried to run behind it once and got his leg trapped between the stand and the wheel. He was having a rather frantic moment after our return from holiday and he wouldn't have got trapped if he had stopped trying to run and just gone back the way he came! But he got even more frantic when his leg got trapped and tried to run harder and got stuck. This might not be an issue with the 27cm Wodent wheel as I'm guessing there is less of a gap between the stand and the wheel. Can't remember.

Re: 100cm Barney refiew
The cage bars on top from back to the edge of the top door measure 5.5" and the trixie wheel stand measures 4", so it fits in fine with room to spare.

Re: 100cm Barney refiew
Ooh that sounds good. The Wobust wheel stand is quite big. Can't remember how big but I think it would need to sit beyond the door.

Re: 100cm Barney refiew
I have put a large flat stone on Woodstock's wheel base as it kept moving when he was on it and rubbing against the shelf. Its great now.
I took his digging box out as he wasnt digging in it at all and has deep substrate anyway.
Considering a Christmas rat sputnik next ...

Re: 100cm Barney refiew
That sounds good FF. If you get it from Zooplus, they also sell hemp mats - they're quite large so last for ages. I cut a circle out of one and put it in the bottom of Charlie's rat sputnik so it makes it cosy and he liked sitting in it more after that.

Re: 100cm Barney refiew
Aww a cosy nest liner. Good idea. I have just ordered a wooden wheel for him (black friday and all that). It will match his cage better than the black one!
Finding those teeny front doors annoying though.

Re: 100cm Barney refiew
Is that for getting things in and out of the cage or for getting your hammy in and out? I think some people put a hand through the top and one through the side, to manoevre things.

Yeah its for manoevres and getting stuff in and out. I just find the doors so fiddly. Mind you I still love the cage. Its so roomy and the top door fits all the big things like wheels and hamster houses.

Re: 100cm Barney refiew
The small doors really are stupid aren't they, it's annoying I can't fit Nibble's food bowl through it, but I try pretty much every day lol!
