It's not so much the cost for me (not that I have an unlimited budget or anything!) but more justifying buying another wheel when there is nothing wrong at all with the Trixie. I'm going to have to have a good think about it! Thanks Serendipity

I had that same problem really. There's nothing wrong with the Wobust wheel and having bought a cage, buying another wheel seemed extravagant. But it was partly because I got the new cage I decided on the wheel, to be able to set the cage up to give the most shelf/floor space.

I've just been informed that I was sent the wrong joining strip (I was sent the one for the 9" wheel not the 12" wheel) which is why there were gaps either side of it. So I will edit out that bit in the video review as apparently the joining strip should go the full width of the running track (and therefore it's not possible to get it off balance).

Are they going to send the correct one?

I just got my wheel in the mail from Sugar Gliders on e-bay. It came already assembled so I took it apart & washed it & put it in Koala Bears bin cage. I didn't know he had made his nest under his SS wheel that I was taking out & replacing with the new wheel. So I woke him up but the wheel came with sample treats, so I put the new wheel in & he tested it out & he seems to really like it. I gave him a pumpkin seed treat that came with the wheel & all that made up for losing his nest.

I was spot cleaning too, poor little guy had no idea he was sleeping under the wheel or I would have waited. But like I said earlier he ran in the wheel & liked the treat. He just came out again to go for a good run so he must like it!

He doesn't have a nest anymore since I replaced the wheel so why not run on it? Much more fun than the silent spinner, wider running track & fun holes to climb in & out of.

The base is heavy metal so it holds wheel firmly in place so it's stable in the bin with Carefresh bedding. He hasn't stopped playing with it since I put it in his bin.

No need for baby oil as its silent as it is. I put more nesting bedding behind the wheel so he just went back to sleep behind his new wheel.

Hi. I don't think they sent u the wrong size cause my 9 in attachment is real small too. Judging by the view of it in the video? Could be wrong?

Hmm interesting. I was told it should go the full width of the running track. I emailed the ebay seller who sent it to me and asked if they had sent me the wrong joining piece and if they could swap it for the right one, so I'll see what they say. So does your 9" wheel joining strip have gaps either side as well?

Yes, definitely, wish it would go the whole length

Hmm - it was exotic nutrition themselves who told me it should go the whole width! I'll let you know what my seller responds with.
