Hamster wheels
Hello everyone!
I'd like to ask if anyone knows a hamster wheel that's quiet.
Other than Wodent Wheels and Superpet Silent Spinner. The trixie wheel that I have is sometimes quiet but extremely noisy now.

Re: Hamster wheels
The Rodipet wheels are very good & quiet, the wooden trixie Brian mentioned is good too & I don't know if you can get them where you are but the silent runner (not silent spinner!) wheels are excellent.

Re: Hamster wheels
These are the Rodipet ones There are two different prices for each size of wheel because some come with a custom shelf for them to sit on (to raise them and make a hide underneath). They're not cheap! Even without the stand. The 27" one works out at about £36 and postage is another £8 ish. They are silent but unless you need one that extends in height, one of the other two silent wheels would be cheaper. I do have the 21" one for our robo.

The Trixie wood one at £10 ish mentioned is silent. I have the 12" Silent Runner for our Syrian. It's an excellent wheel- costs more at £25 but it's safe and sturdy and mine has been going for a long time without any breakages or problems.
Either of the wood/cork ones you would want to paint with plastikote in case they get pee'd in or on (which is very likely!)
Don't get the Silent Runner from Rodipet though - it's cheaper to buy it in the Uk and the postage is less.

This is the Trixie silent one

You can paint both the cork and the wood with a couple of coats of plastikote - this one - it's water based and safe for pets. Doesn't really smell of anything.

I live in switzerland, so I think the postage for amazon UK would even be more expensive. Thanks for the heads up for the wooden wheel, I'll try and find the plastikote.

Re: Hamster wheels
Hey,
I'd like to ask too.
I don't know why, but in my country there are only such wheels: https://www.kika.lt/out/pictures/gen...1_88498270.jpg
All plastic solid surfaces are only in small size, so my hams do not fit.
Is it possible to do anything with it and make that wheel safer?

Re: Hamster wheels
Not really unfortunately - those wheels are really quite dangerous. Even if you covered the mesh surface, they can get trapped and injured. - It's just not very safe.
Which country are you in? Zooplus ships all over Europe. Or - you could make your own bucket wheel
