Re: 28cm Trixie Wheel
They seem to have their preferences just like humans and they let us know when they're not happy with something.
I've never used the 28 Trixie wheel without the front cover but it should be safe because the spindle is too high up to touch the hamster's back. As for the stability, i think you'll just have to watch and see.
There isn't much choice in large open plastic wheels in the UK. I have this one which is 26cm/10in and fine for a smaller Syrian but most open ones are wooden ones which can be plastikoted of course. Going by the description the manufacturer is clueless (small - hamster large - rat) but it is a sturdy and smoothly spinning wheel that also attaches to a barred cage.
Niteangel and Carolina wheels have large open plastic wheels and Rodipet does one which isn't a good design for a Syrian, in my opinion. There may be others and i would be interested to know about them.
