Silent Runner Wheel Height?
I'm trying to find a larger cage and wheel for my new hamster Mushu.
Currently, I am favouring the Silent Runner. I know that is has a 12 inch diameter, but I don't know how tall it is including the stand. I want to make sure that it is not too tall for whichever cage I buy. Can anyone who owns one of these wheels measure how tall it is fir me?

Hi. It's 35cm tall on the stand But you can also get cage-mounting plates for it and screw it to the bars, and then you can have it at whatever height you want. For example, in my Barney cage, which is 43cm tall internally approx, I had it screwed to the bars very near the top so there was a lot more space for substrate underneath the wheel.

Re: Silent Runner Wheel Height?
That is very helpful information, thank you! One question: if I leave it freestanding rather than attaching it to the bars, is it possible that the wheel could could topple over and crush a hamster? I may be being paranoid, but it is a worry to me.

You can get the cage attachment from the same place I linked to for the wheel.
The wheel can topple over freestanding if it's just on the substrate, my little chinese girl has almost pulled it down on top of herself a few times! I put mine on a piece of wood with a couple of dowels glued on to stop the wheel sliding around.

Oh I don’t want it crushing my little man so I will make sure to attach it. Many thanks for the link.

Re: Silent Runner Wheel Height?
It's fine if it's on something like a shelf or wood, anything solid, just not sat on substrate.
