Default Noisy flying saucer wheel

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any tips for making a flying saucer wheel quieter?

The wheel itself is really quiet, but what's noisy is the sound of my hammy's feet clicking on the plastic as he runs.

I wondered if lining the wheel with fabric or kitchen roll might work. What do people think?

Thanks

I had a noisy wheel with Maxi once. I put a little bit of coconut oil on the spindley bit and that worked a treat. And it won't do a hammy much harm if they try to eat it. If it is a free-standing wheel I always try and get them on a softer surface - tissue or deeper substrate, it can help too

You can turn the wheel upside down and push the white part and the wheel will separate from the base. Then you can clean it better. Also, if you spray Olive oil on it that quiets it down from time to time too.
