Trixie Wooden Exercise Wheel, Large ø 28 cm (for rats, hamsters, degus)

Product Information

Metal is obviously a stronger material and is far more durable than plastic, but it is also harder to clean. The most important thing to consider when purchasing a wheel is the size of your actual hamster, as you don’t want to purchase one too large or small for them.

They are designed to prevent your pet's feet from getting caught in the spokes, which can cause injury. Pets at Home supplies the majority of hamsters to the UK population so it is very positive that they now also offer an adequate sized wheel at the point of purchase. He loves his new wheel, I can see it is sufficiently large for him and his back isn’t arched, so I find that reassuring. A part is missing – If you receive your item and a part is missing please report it to us within 30 days of the item being dispatched and we will send you a replacement part.There is a bar that sticks out but it’s not sharp and is pretty high up, I’ve been looking at it tonight and wonder if it makes the whole thing a bit more wobbly.

They seem to have their preferences just like humans and they let us know when they're not happy with something.

In addition, Hamster cages which are too small to fit an adequate sized wheel should also be banned.

So naturally, if you own one, you’re going to have to make sure you purchase a hamster wheel that can support your chunky pal! It’s tail safe, resistant plastic hub also aims to provide a silent experience for owners and a comfortable, sure-footed run for any hamster. Over the years it has been frustrating to see Pets at Home advertising wheels that are only 12cm in diameter as being suitable for Syrian hamsters and not providing an alternative larger suitable wheel for hamsters. We specialise in pet supplies for all pets including dogs, cats, birds, small animals, fish and reptiles. Hi all, I’ve recently purchased a 28cm Trixie wheel for our Syrian hamster, had it around 4 weeks now.However, when kept as pets, we keep them in a cage to ensure they don’t get lost, meaning there’s no way for them to act on their biological instincts. Because of it's larger-than-average size, it's gentle on your hamster's spine unlike many other smaller wheels. This is an obvious example of an unsuitable product being marketed as suitable, when looking at a Syrian hamster use this wheel the back curvature issue is obvious to see. This 28cm diameter hamster wheel can be either mounted on it's frame, or attached to the side of your hamster's cage. Anyone who’s ever had a hamster before knows that while an exercise wheel is often the joy of your little furballs life, it is conversely nearly always the bain of yours.
