Default wheel recommendations!

Hey! My lovely Syrian Bee is 4 months old now and it is time for a wheel upgrade. She currently has a 6.5 inch silent spinner and although She does not arch her back to run in it (She is a little short arse :P) i would like to get her something a bit bigger and pass her old wheel on to my not so little dwarf. She lives in a Gabber rex so it needs to be a stand alone wheel and of course fit in the cage. Rather than just buy use 8.5 silent spinner i wondered if anybody could recommend any other wheels.

Mine have 12 inch silent spinners which are massive but give them lots of room to run or just sit on it and have a wash. I chose these ones because two of my hamsters are longhaired males with full skirts and this was the only wheel I could find which didn't have slots or a spinning central bar that might tangle in the fur, and it is easily wide enough that nothing overhangs outside the wheel as they run either - they both use their wheels for hours every night with no problems and seem to love them.

I use wodent wheels and LOVE them. Even my mouse and dwarf hamsters can use them though I got them for my syrian hamster and her two babies I kept. I would get the 8 inch mine was a bigger girl but she fit well. It really depends where you are i now singapore has a silent spinner look a like

But since you are using inches I assume the US so I would just go with the wodent wheel.

There's a 8.5" Silent Spinner? I thought they only came in 4.5", 6.5", and 12"? An 8.5" one would definitely be handy!

For a Syrian I'd go with a Senior Wodent wheel or a 29cm Karlie Wonderland wheel, but I have a feeling neither of those will fit in a Gabber.

I don't believe there is an 8.5" silent spinner, trust me I've been trying to locate a better wheel for Saffron, and I would LOVE for her to have a SS, but the 12" is just WAY to big. If there is...oh gosh I'll have it tomorrow
