Default Wheel attatchment

Hi, I got a hamster and she needed a bigger cage because she was getting bigger and border. I got her a bin cage which has been working well but I need a way to hook her Silent Spinner to it since I don't have the stand that goes with it. Any ideas?

Hooking the silent spinner to the cage bars isn't too hard, but this wheel is junky overall and definitely a bit frustrating!

So take the wheel, and you'll see a yellow cap in the center like below



Now unscrew this cap. Now you should see a screw, pull the wheel off of this screw



Then what you have left is just the attachment, hook this to the cage and put the wheel back on




Now simply screw the yellow cap back on and you should be good! The same concept works for bin cages. I used this same method to hook up this silent spinner to Duncan's bin a while back

Thank you for the idea, I would use an electric drill for the hole right?

That's what I used to make the hole in the bin. Just make sure you don't crack the plastic on accident

Wood burning knives would be better than a drill with plastic.This is mostly due to the melting of the plastic rather than drilling,which essentially stops cracks from forming!
