silent spinner colour help
As some of you may already know all three of my girls have wonderland wheels and they all love them and I love how quiet they are
However Hazel is being a royal pain in the rear end
When I first got Hazel she peed in her wheel and it stank So I careful washed it, and even though I had plastikoted it it still fell apart. Thankfully I managed to glue it back together ok and then I gave it several more coats of plastikote. When I returned the wheel to her cage she suddenly stopped peeing in it Now for some strange reason that is known only to Hazel over the last couple of days she has decided to start peeing in it again
OK I know I'm a bit ocd concerning smells but honestly it stinks! I've washed it but I can still smell it so I think I'm going to get her a silent spinner instead because I will be able to scrub that one easier, but I really don't want a green one lol I don't mind any of the other colours but not a green one I looked in a couple of shops today and did actually manage to find one 12 inch one but yes you guessed it lol it was green.
Does anyone know of any on line UK supplier where you can stipulate your colour choice?

Re: silent spinner colour help
Maybe you could ask in the store for them to hold a different coloured one back when they have them in?

Oh do they? The ones I've looked at on line say various colours so I assumed they came in all four colours

I did ask, they said because they are such an expensive wheel they only ever carry one at a time in store and when they do order one in they are just sent what they are sent lol
Another small independent pet store is really good and ordered in all three of my Savic runners for me, on 3 separate occasions, because they don't stock them and that way I don't need to pay the postage lol so I phoned and asked if he could get me a non green 12 inch silent spinner, he looked it up and said he could but it would cost £37 nope I'm not paying £37!

Re: silent spinner colour help
I thought I'd seem it in red in a local pet shop but they don't do online (and I may have dreamt the colour thing). Only thing I'd say is that Hector, being a robo, pees in his wheel, a lot. And while I really like his medium spinner, I do find it a pain in the arse to keep clean. You can seperate the white bit & the coloured bit but I do find it quite difficult to unclick the two parts. And where Hector pees in it, it does get in the crack between the two bits so not always great for a quick wipe down. Might just be me though

Re: silent spinner colour help
I think wodent wheels are a bit of a fiddle to take apart if you have to clean them every day.
It's not just you Velma! I find them easy to take apart but a pain to get back together again, it's not that bad really but you do need to do it as an amazing amount of gunk gets stuck in the crack!
I've searched online for colour choices in the smaller size & found nowhere, I think it's the same with tall the sizes tbh.
Is the green really that bad Willow? I have every colour there is & the green is the only one I really like!

Re: silent spinner colour help
Yes I agree both with Serendipity that Hazel is naughty lol and with Cypher that the wodent wheels are just too fiddly
Thank you Velma, I didn't realise the silent spinners were hard to put back together Arghhh what to do now
My hubby says he can't smell the wheel at all and I should just put a peg on my nose
Cypher the green one I saw today did look lovely, I actually do like the colour, it's just Hazel has pink stripes on her platforms and the cage base is blue lol so the red or purple wheel would sort of go with the platforms, and the blue wheel would go with the cage base but the green one wouldn't really go with anything, ok maybe I'm just overthinking this lol

Re: silent spinner colour help
Seapets lets you choose a colour. Make sure you put it in caps; when I ordered two blue ones for my dwarfs, I got a purple and a green one. XD Sent those back, and eventually settled for a blue and green one as they seemed to have trouble getting blue ones.
You could try this wheel from Zooplus. It's easy enough to clean, comes in various colours, and isn't super-noisy (I just hear my Fluffy running rather than rattling/squeaking from the wheel).

Re: silent spinner colour help
They do come in different colors as if you google 12 inch Silent Spinner you will see Purple, Blue, Red, and one looked Really dark Blue. Not sure if their on sale in the UK by Drs Foster and Smith have them all on sale right now, BUT they state they come in 3 different colors but no selecting the color.
