Don't be worried about your hamster not using a flying saucer.They're by no means a replacement for a proper upright wheel,since they just don't allow for a natural running pattern.They cause side arching,and they also just don't give much running surface compared to an upright wheel which has a set running surface which if sized properly is always an appropriate size.

As mentioned Silent Spinner wheels don't really work that well,and are extremely overpriced.There are some much better alternatives,whether you go for a Silent Runner or not.Of course,the Silent Runner does have benefits that not many wheels have such as the solid stand and being an enclosed wheel.Solid stands can be very important,since bad situations can occur due to open stands like those on Silent Spinners and Comfort Wheels.
