I have a 12 inch Silent Runner, previously on its stand and it was fine. But now I have the Savic Plaza its base is so curved that if put it on a stand it would practically be in the middle of the cage. So I bought a cage attachment to attach it to the bars. And it's been no end of trouble.

I thought I'd finally got it sorted so it didn't hit anything, but when I look at it from the top it's often at an angle. But it doesn't seem to affect the spin.

However, when my (Syrian) hamster is on it he runs for about 2 seconds then has to make an effort to keep it spinning, rather than just constantly running. Which he was doing on it before I adjusted it (I had it on too low so it was hitting the base).

There's definitely nothing stopping it from moving. When I start it spinning it goes on for a while. I can tell from what the hamster has been up to at night that he's not happy. I don't know what to do - it seems like no one else has had a problem with this at all!
