20cm trixie wheel for a dwarf?

[Corbeens]

Hello everyone! I have had two dwarfs for about two months now (my first hamsters) and had to separate after they fought in the tiny cage I was told was appropriate for them at the store (My bad for not doing research however). They are separated now, however the wheel of one of the cages has broken, and the cage its self has no bars, so my spare wheel can't go into it. My question is would this 20cm trixie wheel be too much for a roborovksi to spin? He's kind of big compared to the other ham I got at the same time but also this is my main option as I will get it quickly with amazon prime so he is not left without a wheel for much longer. Thank you and sorry if this is badly structured

yes 20cm is fine for a robo and the wheel should spin freely so he should be able to use that just fine.

Yes that should be fine. Well done for separating them, some people leave them to it

What cages and set up do you have for these guys? As you're new to the hamster world we could give you a few tips and tricks to help you out

I have that wheel for a Roborovski and she can spin it fine.

I actually wouldn’t really recommend anything under 20cm! I used a wheel that is about 16.5cm when i first got my robo and he wouldn’t stop flipping out of it. I now have a 23cm wheel in his cage and it works perfectly for him.

Thank you all for the responses! I have one of them in a wire cage which is around the old standard size (which will be upgraded) however my priority right now is upgrading the one who came off worse in the fight as he is in an even smaller pet shop cage . I'm doing my best and I've researched much more now than before I got them (which I regret) but the upgrades will happen! The wheel is just about to be ordered with some other things I need for the bin cage, which should be set up soon
