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. ![](https://www.hamstercentral.com/community/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif) 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. ![](https://www.hamstercentral.com/community/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif) 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. ![](https://www.hamstercentral.com/community/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif) 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. ![](https://www.hamstercentral.com/community/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif) 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?

Re: Best wheel for a Syrian?
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? ![](https://www.hamstercentral.com/community/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif) Darn it, I was thinking of trying one of those, and I think they were the only UK stockist.
