Best wheel for a Syrian?
I`m on the hunt today for a suitable wheel for my new inherited hamster Boris! He`s quite large syrian so I was thinking something around 8" inches diameter would be good? Or should I go a little bigger? I`m happy to purchase online today or tomorrow, so any links you guys can provide to good retailers who are fast at delivering, I would be much obliged and so would Boris!

Re: Best wheel for a Syrian?
If you can fit a larger wheel in the cage, I'm sure Boris would appreciate one. Just make sure you measure first, their size isn't to be under-estimated. I really like the Senior Wodent wheel (11") for Syrians; easy to take apart for cleaning, and my hammies seem to really appreciate the enclosed design. The fastest place for delivery would be PetPlanet as they're UK-based: Wodent Wheel Senior Small Animal Toys for Sale
If you don't mind waiting though, you can pay a little bit more and choose your colours from here: Wodent Wheel International Ordering

Re: Best wheel for a Syrian?
Thanks very much Pomegranate. I feel the 12" inch is a little on the large size though! Is there a size down from this? The `middle` sized wodent? Not sure what they call it.

Re: Best wheel for a Syrian?
How do you know the best size to get? Is it the length of your ham? I need to update George's wheel, and want to get it right for him

Re: Best wheel for a Syrian?
Trial and error in my case!
I had a junior wodent wheel for Phoebe and although she was probably okish, she just looked a bit cramped, her nose was right up against the edge as she was running so I upgraded her to the rodent wheel by trixe, she also has the largest wonderland wheel too, but this is a bit of a squeeze to fit in the zz2. I have an abundance of unused wheels now!

Re: Best wheel for a Syrian?
Thanks both of you for the info. The junior wodent at 8" inches sounds about right, but I just hope it is big enough. The silent spinner he is currently using is 6.5" diameter and far too cramped, so I need to go that bit bigger. I had no choice but to give him this yesterday as he was using a Rotastak Space Command enclosed wheel and the poor wee man looked trapped in it. That will be binned and recycled plastic soon!
The Trixie wheel looks good too but the rat one seems a bit big? Do Trixie do the 8" inch equivellant?

No, the small one is 11". I have one for Phoebe and she has no problems using it, it is not as good quality as the wodent wheel, but still a good wheel, it comes apart for cleaning and everything, just seems a bit rattly to me, compared to the ww

Re: Best wheel for a Syrian?
Is it me or have Zooplus stopped selling the 28cm Karlie Wonderland wheels? Darn it, I was thinking of trying one of those, and I think they were the only UK stockist.
