wheel size for Noodle?

[kimlck]

currently she has an 8"wheel that makes an awful lot of noise so I'm gonna get her a new wheel.
shall I go for another 8" or would a 6.5 be more suitable? she's a long lady so I will probably get an 8" one.
any suggestions?

btw she is in a zz1


thanks!

If I remember correctly Noodle is a Chinese yes?
For a Chinese I believe that a 6 & half inch should be fine (not if it is for a Syrian)
Hamster do normally prefer/choose the largest wheel (example if you put a 4.5, 6.5 & 8 inch wheel side by side they pick the biggest).
It is hard to get 8 inch wheels normally only wooden ones.
6 & half you can get silent wooden ones and silent spinners, alt you could have a 6 & half inch flying saucer (my hamsters have both a wheel & flying saucer so they can pick which to play on - they like to swap around).

For a ZZ1 you could easily fit in both a 6 & half inch wheel or 8 inch wheel and 6 & half in flying saucer.

I would go for the bigger wheel as a little bigger is always better than to small.
