Wheel Obsession?

[MollyTheHam]

I got my new Syrian last Thursday; she's seven weeks old and absolutely gorgeous. I just have one small concern.
She is literally OBSESSED with her wheel! Legitimately obsessed. She runs on it constantly, naps on it occasionally. And poops and pees on it! I thought she had wet tail last night. Turns out she had just been sitting in her pee. Nice.
Is this kind of obsession normal? She had a wheel in the shop so its hardly like she hasn't seen one before and it was the same wheel (flying saucer).
Help??:confused::confused:

Perfectly normal!
When you're washing the pee off the saucer use cold water as hot water makes it smell.
Also you could get some substrate and dip it in her pee on the saucer, then place it in the corner of her cage and see if she takes to using the corner for a toilet instead.

Thanks so much! I can stop worrying about her now I suppose :)
