Default Re: Need a new wheel, suggestions?

I can highly recommend the 9” silent runner . It is silent, spins much better than the wodent wheels and is a safe sturdy wheel. It has holes in the front similar to the wodent wheel. Only comes in yellow . I’ve had the 12” one for Syrians for a few years and it is the best wheel I’ve had and the longest lasting wheel I’ve had. It’s not cheap though- but I think a good longer term investment.

It seems wodent wheels are no longer made any more. The company was taken over at one point and then ceased production.

The 9” SR is showing as out of stock at the moment but if you email them on this page they can let you know when they’re expecting stock. They are imported from the US.

It’s showing as available here but at a higher price - annoying.

The stand is very safe and sturdy but I use mine mounted to the cage bars so I can have it the height I want - above the substrate level and near the cage roof at the top. You can buy special cage attachment plates separately and they work really well - it is very stable. Another £5 though but they last forever!

This is the cage attachment kit

A cheaper alternative is the 21 Cm wood trixie wheel sold by Zooplus - it really needs painting with plastikote though to be wipe clean. It is also silent.
