Re: Introducing Comet
I cannot find where I talked about this before, but Comet was using the pets at home wheel (which I didn't like). He could still fall out of it flinging himself around. I tried him with the wheel Ria recommends, but it was even worse, so I gave him back the pets at home one.
When I first got him I tried him on the 9 inch silent runner, but he couldn't/wouldn't use it.
Anyway after asking people on Instagram, I decided a bigger wheel had to be the way to go, so I tried him with a 12 inch Trixie wheel, which he just ignored and went and hung out in his tree (see previous posts).
So, last night I tried again with the 9 inch silent runner and oh my goodness he is not off the wheel now, never seen him use a wheel like he was doing last night - i really fell awful about it, but at least it's all sorted now and he can't possibly fling himself right round in it.
So, if you ever have an issue where your hamster is flinging itself around in its wheel and flying out, try a bigger and/or slightly heavier wheel, it may just work.

My conclusion is that he must have been still too small to use it when he first arrived as he was only 19g then and now he is about 34g.

Re: Introducing Comet
A hamster dozing in a tree! Wonderful. I love that.
Glad Comet found his paws in the silent runner. That's a good point. His now weight made all the difference.

Re: Introducing Comet
Great video. Yes he was maybe a bit small for it at first. I think a 9” wheel is good for a Robo. Nugget had the Rodipet 9” open one from the start. And could run well in it. Yes he used to leap out while it was spinning but he stopped doing that quite quickly. It is worrying when they do that. I went with an open wheel as I was worried he might try to jump out while the silent runner was spinning and get caught in the holes or something. But in the end most 8” or 9” wheels are fine once they get the hang of wheeling. Nugget also had a flying saucer which he loved and used both that and his wheel.

Re: Introducing Comet
I do love his whiskers! Very impressive Comet
Good to see him enjoying his silent runner now too.

Re: Introducing Comet
It was clean out day yesterday for Comet- I have done a new cage theme of 'animal kingdom' or 'tropical animals' (not sure of its name yet Not quite finished yet and the video will take me a while to edit and put up on youTube, but for now here are a couple of really cute pics of Comet in his new coconut which he seems to be loving.

I keep finding him in it, so I guess he likes it.
I can't wait for you to see the cage, hope to get the video out in the next week or 2. I think you will see your influence on me

Re: Introducing Comet
Comet's new world looks lovely and so colourful!
He is the king of the jungle now.
I've borrowed quite a few of your ideas, Luna.
