I personally think the silent runner is my favorite
it's silent, high quality, and smooth running which I love. The wodent wheel is also super high quality though so it really is a tough call but I guess I can list a few pros and cons of each
Silent runner: pros
-high quality thick plastic resistant to chewing
-enclosed for timid hams
-comes in large sizes
-silent
-smooth spinning
-solid heavy base so it cannot fall or be squeezed under
-durable
Wodent wheel: pros
-fairly resistant to chewing
-silent (unless of course you lose the pin
)
-comes in large sizes
-enclosed for more timid hams
-base can't hurt hamsters if it were to somehow become jostled
-smooth running
-durable
Silent runner: cons
-heavy base could *possibly* hurt your hamster if it were to somehow fall on the (this is a stretch though as I can't really find any other cons)
-costly up front
Wodent wheel: cons
-somewhat thinner plastic though durable, so more susceptible to damage via chewing
-open bases sometimes, though rarely, have been known to cause problems with hamsters getting caught
-costly up front
Having used both, I can tell you they're both good wheels and either one will work just fine!
