Default Re: Suitable Wheel? (link inside)

The small spinners (the kaytee ones) are 4.5" and the medium is 6.5". The sizes correspond to the p@h silent spinner spinners. I'm assuming that the comfort wheel spinners are about the same. The small is too small for anything but the medium even if it is 5.5" should be fine if your robo isn't massive - I think that the wheel that came in my mini duna is 5.5" and Hector ran in that with no bother or arching.
And obviously you have to go with what you can get delivered, which may not be p@h if thy don't deliver to you.

I do like to tell my OH that spare wheels are a good thing and then he won't moan if I buy a new one

One little thing I'd like to point out to avoid the confusion (especially if anyone hasn't clicked the links) is regarding the comfort wheel. The link that aragneer has is for a wheel called a comfort wheel but is actually a silent spinner style wheel. Most people will think of a Kaytee style comfort wheel which is a different type of wheel and can be pretty noisy. Just thought I'd clarify which one was being talked about here!

Velma has a robo so she knows So your 5.5" comfort wheel sounds like an option then - you'll have to let us know if it's quiet if you get one! The Karlie wheel and the Silent Runner are only available online.

@Serendipity: Ooo thanks for the vid link! I'll make sure to check that out Will you let us know how the Karlie wheel is? Would love to hear all about it! Researching wheels is actually fun!
If I get one, I will make sure to let you know on the noise situation haha

@Velma: Thank you so much! I won't go for small on any of the wheels I get, just 'cause I don't know how big this hammy can grow! He is only a baby but I'll keep an eye out. Thanks again

I think I'll fork out a bit of money, especially for postage and just bite the bullet with one
