If it’s gone in the morning he’s used it.

Anyway it would help to know if it’s a Syrian or dwarf hamster and which the old and new wheels are.
Hello! I will try to upload a picture soon. Both wheels are spinning properly I think. I tested them. I usually can hear him spinning while I am sleeping so I strongly believe he does not spin for two nights. My hamster is a Syrian by the way.
I will try the trick - but he will probably just climb the top of it again.
