Hi. The 6.5" inch silent spinner wheel is the ideal size for a Chinese, a Russian dwarf or a Roborovski. No need to change it to a smaller wheel as the wheel will then be too small. Is it spinning okay? If not, try some vegetable oil inside the yellow back part. Silent Spinners used to be the best dwarf hamster wheel on the market, but I think Superpet must have been bought out to another company who have changed the design to perhaps have a cheaper running mechanism? Not sure on that. I still have one of the original silent spinners and it`s been going strong for five years!

Once you add a shelf for her to hide under and climb on with a Trixie type wooden bendy ramp, you could place a sleeping box (cardboard tissue boxes are good) underneath the shelf where she can sleep in a nice dark area. x
