Super Pet Hamster Run-Around Exercise Wheel

I recently purchased a cage for my two rats that had a large version of this wheel in it. I had to rush one of my pet rats to the vet yesterday afternoon, after hours, because as she was running it the wheel, her tail became caught in the metal where the wheel attaches to the frame. Needless to say, she is missing two toes, about an inch of her tail and her face is is completely traumatized on one side after trying to free her tail. We were not home when this happened.

I would not recommend this product for use for rats, or any animal with a long tail. It is not safe!!!

I live in a large house, and because my oldest daughter Karen (14) was slightly irritated by the dander of animals, Quinn's hamster had to stay in the close by guesthouse. She had lately been sleeping in there with Chip (hamster) and had no problem with it, but one night we all decided to have a movie night in the small house. Suddenly, we heard this terrible screech, and at first we thought it was coming from the kitchen, but sure enough: it was this wheel. Probably the NOISIEST and most ANNOYING thing I've ever had to deal with. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! The terrible wheel caused Chip's feet to BLEED! Sickening! At first we thought he was biting it but the vet explained to only use wheels with solid bottoms: NO MESH! Save your money! Buy this wheel instead!:Biddie Buddies Small Animal Blue Exercise Wheel with Stand for Mice Hamsters & Gerbils 3.5" Diameter Wheel x 6"H (with stand)

Thanks and NOT A GOOD WHEEL!!! The other one's better and you can choose the color!

I could see this wheel being awful for rats they need a bigger, enclosed, wheel and without a bar. A wodent wheel is perfect for rats. Also I could see a sturdy silent spinner type wheel being more appropriate for hamsters who tend to run more obsessively than gerbils. However, I've had good experience using this wheel for many pet gerbils over many years. They don't gnaw it up, like they do the plastic wheels and the tails dont' get caught like they can it the old style slated metal wheels. I use twisty ties to tie the wheel to the lid of a 10 or 20 gallon housing set up so the wheel is a few inches off the ground. I use vaseline or anything like that, e.g., chapstick in a pinch, so the wheel doesn't squeak.

I had plastic wheels before and these are much better and quieter. My two little girls run all night and these are so quiet, I can't hear them at all. They are sturdy enough to last a long time.I highly reccommend them. I have bear hamsters which get quite large and the 8" wheels are a perfect size.

I went threw many cages and wheels to please these little cuties! "I connected three critter cages with 3 different wheels, and the hamsters would always choose this one."I heard one review complain about the noise.What i would do is put some vegetable oil or vase line and that would do the trick."In my opinion, this is the best wheel!"
