Default Re: Arched back in a wheel?

How long is she exactly?The easiest way to decide on a wheel is by actually knowing how long the hamster in question is,and without that information it's hard to give an exact size or if changing is even necessary.

If she seems to be using the Trixie wheel fine then I wouldn't see an issue with leaving it in

AmityvilleHams isn't the general rule for length of hamster-wheel size the length of the hamster doubled? For example for a 4" long hamster you'd need an 8"+ wheel

Yes,that's the general rule,or at least the scientific method of finding wheel size Of course,an extra inch or two wouldn't be a problem at all so even a hamster that is for example 3.5 inches could have an 8-9 inch wheel as long as it isn't a very heavy type of wheel.

Something like a Silent Runner for example at 9 inches would be very light and easy for smaller hamsters to spin where other bulkier heavy wheels aren't as good for dwarf hamsters at the 8-10 inch size.

Yes the Silent Runner is probably the best wheel for dwarf and Chinese hams

She's never tried a silent spinner before, none of my other Robo hams in the past could spin it. Will measure her length this evening but I think her wheel is ok, the P@H one
