Damaged and defective items – If your item arrives damaged or defective we require photos to assess the problem. A cage that is too small to fit a 28cm (11″) wheel should not be advertised as being a suitable cage for a Syrian Hamster.

They also make 12 inch metal wheels in various colors, and I wouldn't go smaller than that with Syrians just to be completely safe - something bucket wheels are severely lacking in terms of wheels like the Carolina ones which are somewhere around 10 inches or just over in diameter which isn't going to work for many Syrians as it would be too small for them to properly run with a flat back. Going by the description the manufacturer is clueless (small - hamster large - rat) but it is a sturdy and smoothly spinning wheel that also attaches to a barred cage.It is also a generously wide cork lined wheel, which means Deaky can change direction easily and is kind to his feet. It even features a white spiral on the face which turns into a white blur as your hamster gathers speed!

We specialise in pet supplies for all pets including dogs, cats, birds, small animals, fish and reptiles. Thanks for the review LilyandDaisy, I was looking for a wooden wheel for my gerbils as the 11" plastic wheel they have they would occasionally chew which I didn't feel too comfortable with. Wheels these days often have features like a closed-back wall which prevents a hamster from slipping out of the side of the spinner and gaining an injury.It's not a big deal to paint the inside with plastikote - takes about 10 minutes, dried in a few hours.

To make it worse, hamsters are nocturnal creatures too, which means you can often say goodbye to sleep and hello to midnight marathons.

It also comes with clips to help attach it to the side of a wire cage and improve stability and you can choose between small, large or giant sizes! From silent spinners to large-scale Ferris wheels, there’s something here for every type of hamster imaginable! Please check the wheel regularly for signs of nibbling, and where necessary, sand down to avoid injury to your pet. These include problems such as bone and muscle degeneration, which can in severe cases lead to paralysis!
