Wheel Vs Flying Saucer ?

[racinghamster]

GreySyrian. I would go with an upright wheel every time just because it`s a more natural way for a hamster to move forward. The wooden Wonderland wheels have a very good reputation for being long lasting and more importantly, silent! They do need a few coatings of Plastikote craft paint to make the surface more easy clean, but this apparently dries quickly anyway. They sometimes require a light sanding on the running surface just to check the wheel for any chewed bits or splinters, but if you do this, the wheel should do you well. Zooplus sometimes have them on offer, so check out their prices and if you spend £15 or more, postage is £2.99p with a choice of three couriers (I always opt for DPD) or free if you spend over £29. so worth checking out.

The plastic wheels out there are all a bit dodgy when it comes to noise levels. The older Silent Spinners were the best, but the design has changed and they have not had good feedback recently, so be wary and give them a spin before you pay for them if you can. Pets At Home sell a large wooden wheel very like the Karlie Wonderland. I think they sell it for Degus, but it would suit an adult Syrian. x
