Pippa uses her Wodent Wheel, but I bet she'd LOVE a Flying Saucer too. What kind of wheel do you have for Petal?

There are lots of reviews and threads about the different wheels on here.
If you use the search you should be able to find plenty information about both.

Go for a silent spinner, the 6.5" inch one as the mini is far too small. Even for a robo. The wheel that comes with the duna is not great. I had to dismantle mine with a pair of wire cutters as it was stick fast to the shelf clip. My robo now has an upright wheel he can actually use! Flying saucers are okay, but upright wheels are the best choice as some hamsters can develope a `tilt` when using a flying saucer, especially as they age. So an upright wheel is more natural for running on. x

Any chineses that I've had love both the silent spinners and flying saucers. I agree with RH that the medium silent spinner is the best size for a chinese.

She will love the silent spinner and so will you because they are quiet! Just a little tip for you though. When cleaning a silent spinner, screw off the yellow ball-bearing parts because if these get wet, the metal screw inside will rust and start to fail. It`s easy to screw these off and put them on again. x
