Does an older hamster really need a wheel?
Holly, my dove Syrain doesn't ever use her wheel anymore. It just sits there, and being a 12 inch one, takes up quite a bit of space in the 30 gallon tank I use as her cage.
I didn't know if it was better to have it out and leave some more space for Holly to wander about in or not, so I took the liberty of removing it. Based on her activity level, and advanced age (nearly 2 years old now), I decided it wasn't really that necessary anymore.
Was it a good call?
