What wheel???

Hi all, hope you & your little hammies are all well

I just wondered what sort of wheels do you all use??

We have the ferplast Mini duna cage....the wheel attaches to the shelf and when Millie is in her wheel the whole shelf rattles and is quite noisy!
This doesn't bother me its my hubby who moans he can't hear the TV!!

I usually then take her into a different room for a play outside her cage.

Yesterday we brought a free standing wheel in hope it wouldnt make the cage vibrate but its still quite noisy!

Ive been reading about the silent spinners...........are they as good as they sound??

Any tips or advice will be helpful and maybe my hubby will stop moaning!!!

XXXXX

I switched from cage-attached to wodent wheel, i love it! Its really silent compared to the cage-attached ones. Just make sure you have the space for the Junior one.

The silent spinners are good - and as you have a dwarfie the medium sized one (6")would be fine. The wodent wheel is good, but mine rattles a bit - when I had a silent spinner for Mo (before she grew out of it, she was a syrian) it was superbly quiet!

Agree with Shazzy: silent spinner is an excellent choise!

Yep if you have dwarfs the silent spinner is very quiet. I have one for Boris and I can hardly tell when he is using it.

Silent spinners are amazing

i can't even tell Treo is running in his!
Ok so Peggys makes a bit of noise, i don't know what happened there, she must have broke it somehow

But its much better than her old rotastak 'wonder wheel'!

I have found the Junior Wodent Wheel to be totally silent and they come in great colours too!

Great, thanks all.

Are they only available online?? been looking today, prices seem to vary abit from different sites.

In the UK yes its best to get them online, but a lot of places are out of stock at the moment.
So most order from the US

What size would I need for a dwarf hamster?? I was guessing the 6.5" found a couple on ebay and some say the smaller one of 4.5" is for dwarfs & mice.

Thanks. X
