Default Help with a new wheel please!!

Hi, my hamster Cookie has outgrown his wheel and clearly needs one with more depth as well as he seems to be half falling off while running! Ive been trying to look around everywhere online because there aren't many good pet shops in the area. I also have a limited space for his wheel - I want a stand as it is on the bottom floor but don't mind if a clip is included but a stand is a neccessity, from the bottom of the stand to the top of the wheel has to be between 6-6.5" as it would be ideal for Cookie, the diameter needs to be again between 6-6.5" and the depth needs to be over 2.5", 3" is ideal! Anyyy help please anyone?! Ive looked on a lot of online shops but cant seem to find anything as of yet! Wheel is urgently needed now, I feel so cruel for not having found 1 yet Helpp would be very much appreciated! (also as much as I don't mind spending for my ham, I don't have too much money so a reasonable price please)

i'm affraid you'll have to make some modifications to his cage layout because syrians need a wheel of 8" diameter, such as the wodent wheel. If you get a 6.5" (such as the silent spinner) you'll end up having to buy an 8" evetually when he grows even more.

Yup, i'm afraid Bunsey is right, a 6.5" wheel is too small for a syrian. If money is tight then Comfort Wheels are very inexpensive and come with a stand, but he'll need the 8.5" one.
