You have a valid point with the spindle and the fact that a hamster could fall on top of it. I have seen lightweights like our robo do a full circle and fall out of the wheel but not the one he has now because it has a wider running surface.
After giving it some thought, of about two minutes, i packed up the comfort wheel and returned it to Amazon because i don't want it anymore, the spindle did bother me but i didn't know exactly why until you enlightened me. Thank you.

Fair enough. I just didn't want you to feel like you have to that's all.
That's an interesting observation. I've only watched them spin around and around or in a banana shape if that makes sense.
No problem? The spindle bothers me but I know many people use them with no problem. But I was going off what I've seen Niko do. The Syrians don't do it so they have the plastic Trixie wheel which has a spindle so I needn't worry. However when I get dwarf species afterwards, it may become an issue hence why I'm looking now rather than panic at the last minute.

Re: Dwarf wheel
I use the Silent runner 9" for all my Russians & Chinese, I've been using them for years now & all the hams have done well with them, very well made, silent & easy to clean, no problems at all.
I think they may be a bit hard to get hold of at the moment but they are usually available online from a couple of places.

Re: Dwarf wheel
i guess the wooden one might be quieter but my hamster pees in his wheel so the wooden one would be harder to clean because of this

Re: Dwarf wheel
Wooden wheels are fine if painted with plastikote water based enamel before use.

I'd need to practically drown the wheel in plastikote before Niko could use it lol
