Hamster Wheels: The Wonderful Wodent Wheel!

When I adopted my first hamster, Abigail, last year, I struggled to find a wheel that would be both sturdy and safe. I'd had gerbils before, so any wheel I got them had to be metal, or they'd chew right through it in a night. So I did some looking around. In the past I had used the mesh-bottom wheels like the one below, but after doing some reading online, it seemed that many experienced hamster owners did not like these types, which was surprising to me, since I had used them for years with the gerbils without a single incident. Some claimed that since the hamster's tail is so short, it is possible for it to get caught and broken in the tiny mesh holes. Dwarf breeds were recommended to never use any type of open-bottom wheels, as their paws were just too small.

So after much Internet surfing, I found the only hamster wheel that is certified as safe by the SPCA: The Wodent Wheel. They are hard to find in some areas. None of the stores in my city carried them, so I had to order it overseas from the UK. The Wodent Wheel is built from durable plastic and has a solid bottom with grips for traction. It comes with a heavy metal frame, as to not move around and make noise at night. And I will tell you this, folks, this thing is SILENT! Even with the hamster cage in my room, not once did the wheel ever wake me up or keep me from sleep. If you order online, they come in a wide variety of color combinations, and you can request a wheel in your favorite colors. The company will do its best to fit it to your specifications. If they are out of the wheel you ordered, expect a personal email from a representative, asking if you would prefer to wait for the color combo to come back into stock. or if you would like to change your order to one that is in stock.

As shown in the picture above, they come in a wide variety of colors and sizes, one for nearly any sized pocket pet, from chinchilla to tiny mouse.
