I need some ideas on hamsters wheels.

Currently millie has one of those flying saucer silent wheels but i noticed she is running as a funny angle on it so would like to get her a new one.

Whats the best one? Ive read about those wodent wheels on here.

Are they any good? Are they silent?

I have a Wodent Wheel and it's great, very silent too!

Your other option is a Karlie Wonderland Wheel which would need to be covered in Plasti-Kote.

Flying Saucers are good for playtime but it's better to have a proper wheel for inside her cage.

I have a wodent wheel and it is great! It was slightly squeaky when i got it but i put a dab of oil on the washers and it hasnt made a noise since and ive had it for ages now

How big is the Flying Saucer out of interest?

What size is best for syrians? I dont want to get her either a wodent or karlie wonderland one and its too small or she out grows it.

The flying saucer is quite big, but i think it might be better for dwarfs etc. Millie runs at an angle on it. I only got it because its silent

wodent wheel and Karlie wheels are 20cm? :S thats not too small.

Wodent Wheels and Karlies both come in a range of sizes. I think she wants help choosing the right one?

The Junior Wodent Wheel is a perfect size.

Thanks everyone

My Syrian has the Senior Wodent wheel, which she really seems to really enjoy, and she doesn't arch her back at all which is great; only thing is, check there's enough height in the cage for it first, it's quite a size.

20cm/8" is the minimum for a Syrian, if you can go bigger, do. (My dwarf has a Junior.)

A little bit of olive oil on the wheel's axle keeps them running silent.

just ordered her the junior one. Hopefully she dosent turn out to be one of the massive hamsters (like my first one, i swear he was half guinea pig) and the junior one is fine for her.

fingers crossed it fits in her cage!!
