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.

Re: Arched back in a wheel?
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

Re: Arched back in a 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.

Re: Arched back in a wheel?
Yes the Silent Runner is probably the best wheel for dwarf and Chinese hams

Re: Arched back in a wheel?
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

Re: Arched back in a wheel?
I think she looks fine in that size wheel
