Are these the right silent spinners?

Superpet Cage Wheel with Silent Spinner, for Small Animal, 6.5'' (Various Colours): Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies

The packaging looks different to the other ones I've seen but they have free delivery and the most reviews - really looking for the best bargain I can on wheels!

Yes, they are

Yes. best wheels on the market too! The 6.5" inch is the one to go for. The mini is too small for anything.

My mice and robo have the mini, they are fine on it.

The mini is too small for mice I`m afraid. I`ve kept mice for ten years and use the 6.5" inch and so does everyone else I know who keeps mice. Fancy mice (the smaller types not the larger show types) even benefit from the regular size otherwise their spines bend, just as hamsters do if they are using a wheel that is too narrow.

I started off using the mini silent spinners when I had my roborovskis (I thought because robos were small that the wheel should be too!). Fancy mice bend their tails over their heads when they run sometimes, so giving them a wheel that allows them to run flat, rather than arched is better.

Some robos are fine on the mini, RH. Both of mine preferred theirs.

Again my mice are fine on it. If i put a mini and a regular in the cage at the same time, the mini is used everytime. My mum is a mouse breeder. I also study animal managment at college. Both use mini's for their mice. My mice's spines do not bend at all.

I have been breeding and keeping robo's for a long while.
ALL have had mini's, regular is to big for them. Millie cannot operate the reg. she stopped using it until i replaced it with the mini.

Thats also a really good price at £8.30 for the 6½" considering you get free delivery with it (and they are charging £8.18 for the mini!!)

I always think it's safest to go for a 6.5" for all dwarf species, even some robos can grow longer than you'd expect, there are breeder robos which are 45gs, so as big as a small campbell.
There's no harm in going big, as long as the wheel isn't stiff etc, in Germany robos are given 8" wheels, and my robo is fine on his 6.5" too, so I always go larger the first time in case I have to replace the wheel for being too small.

[kyrilliondaemon]

Yeah, we find robos can manage 6.5" ones fine and Skip is unusually small (we think he was massively underfed as a youngster), but even he has never had any problems. Muffin also learnt to use one really quickly (when not fully grown) and an added bonus of the 6.5" is that now her and Whizz can easily share a wheel when they want to (they do have two, but they like to run together sometimes anyway).
We figure it avoids the risk of needing to replace the wheel later, and then the wheel can be used for other dwarf species if ever needed.

Anyway... Yeah those are the right ones and the price looks fantastic too
