What if i take off the wheel?

[rambamodam]

hey guys, i just got my first couple robo hammies!!! And the wheel that the cage we bought came with makes alot of noise :[ im planning to buy the silent spinner tomorrow and was wondering if anything bad were to happen if i was to take the wheel out for the night?

and a side question is the silent spinner really that silent? even with the hammies feet on the wheel? thanks!

Yes they will be fine without a wheel overnight. We find the spinner pretty silent. Robos also seem to like the flying saucer type wheels. You should likely have two if you have two animals together.

welcome from me as well. i think the silent spinners are really quite. you will always have some noise though...but its nothing compared to other wheels

Hello - Welcome to the forum - I have a silent spinner and it is very quiet, get two though if you have to little ones to avoid fights

[fluffymunchkins]

I agree with all the others. And yes they love the flying saucer it's quite quiet as well.
I will be getting a silent spinner for my own soon.

They should be fine without a wheel. It's only one night.
Make sure they have some home made toys to play with (if you haven't bought
them toys and accessories) so they won't get bored.

There are some nights where I have difficulty sleeping and can't ignore the sounds of my hammies Rolly and Wodent Wheels, so they have to be taken out for the night.

I make it up to them by letting them go for 10 minutes longer in their exercise balls though

ahh thanks for all the welcomes guys! and i just bought the silent spinner

the spinning is pretty quiet, but its the vibrations that are there, not too loud but i can hear it, my crazy hammie is crazy about working on her fitness :] but i tried attaching to the cage but rubs on the bars ill figure something else out tomorrow once i wake up i guess!

and i would hope to get 2 more wheels but the cage i have is too small for 2, im thinking of attaching it to a 10 gal tank but i still cant figure out how to do it yet :[ for i dont want to buy so many tubes!

If you have the spinner on the stand you can tape it too the floor and this stops the noise or sit it on 3 sheets of kitchen roll It is OK if they chew and rip that you see and it muffles the noise.
Robos are not that great at climbing tubes especially vertical ones rambamodam.

souffle thanks for info on the climbing part maybe thats why! im gonna have to think of a way to rearrange things around so it can get up there :]
