Brought this wheel and I was in awe of the the design and the silence of it. However, in just over a month the wheel had developed an annoying ‘popping/cracking’ sound that is distributed my sleep. I am furious at this as the price of this is mental for a hamster wheel too brake in just over a month. Thought Id invest in it as I thought it would be good and result in better sleep, however this was not the case. I don’t recommend unless you want to buy a new wheel every couple of months.

This wheel is fantastic. The build looks natural and fits very subtly into a hamster cage. It’s not like those plastic ones and it doesn’t rattle or thump against the base at all! Perfectly quiet with only the smallest woosh sound and patter of a hamsters feet. The only downside is that it can be quite splintery, so I highly suggest it’s coated with pet-safe varnish to both protect it from pee and keep it from splintering. The only reason this isn’t five stars is for that reason.

It is sturdy, and does spin silently, I barely know when hammy is in it. However, the inside is lined with cork. On day two he had urinated inside the wheel which was impossible to fully clean. After a week, he has now taken it upon himself to chew about a quarter of the cork lining out of the inside. I think I will try to replace with a plastic wheel now.

Best wheel in terms of silence and size. I love it other than 2 things. Number 1 it is not safe to use as it comes. It needs to be sanded down with sand paper around the edges as it cuts the hamsters feet otherwise and leaves bloody footprints so is dangerous. This should really be done before the item is sold. But owners have to do it. Also it would be good if it had a waterproof coating as this is standard when it comes to hamsters as most pee/poo in wheels. This is another thing i had to do.

Excellent value for product. Wheel is very sturdy and safe, my hamster absolutely loves it.

It does have a tendency to have a few splinters but you can file them off or coat the wood to make it last longer, Plastikote will stop pee sticking to it! It’s huge and silent so it’s perfect

Seems a bit broken when arrived. Also isn't stable but my hamster likes it so I cant completely fault it.

This is our third wheel and finally we found a quiet one.

My ham will love this, very good price to

Arrived in perfect condition. So far so good. The degu absolutely loves it. It’s so much more smooth than his old plastic one and looks so much nicer. 5/5 from me so far. Ordered the large size.

Not sure if we have a faulty one but it’s far from quiet and makes a knocking noise when my hammie is running on it, he does seem to love it very much

I love this wheel for my Syrian hamster. Its the only silent wheel I’ve found, and she loves it too. I recommend it is painted with a couple of coats of plastikote before using ,making it much easier to clean if the small animal wees in it

Would highly recommend this nice sturdy big wheel for any hamster. I have a Syrian and she loves it. I would suggest buying a pot of Plastikote for coating the inside of the wheel so any wee doesn’t soak into it.

Excellent product. I have purchased two, a 20" and 28" as they are moved from cage to play pen. Nice and quiet.

Love this wheel! It provides a safe running surface for a hamster. The cork makes a safe base for hamsters to run on. It is totally silent and can be hung upside down to prevent bedding clogging it up. The middle size is large enough for my syrian to run on without his back bending.

My gerbil uses this wheel a lot. It took her a while to get used to it. She would go at high speed and then suddenly stop, then she would either be carried around the wheel till it stopped or she would be flung off. But over time she learnt she had to slow down before stopping. She has chewed most of the inner cork grip but doesnt seem to affect it much. Very good product, would buy again.

I bought the 21cm wheel for my 3 mice. Wheel spins well, and there is no noise at all. But they chewed almost all of the cork off. It also sucks up urine and sometimes feces as well - makes the whole cage stink and it cannot be cleaned. I have to throw it out after only two months use.

I bought the biggest one 33 cms for my hamster ! It’s like comparing the size of the London eye to my hamster ! She loves it and runs like tha clappers on it. Very quiet, built well and great size. The cork is much thinner that I was expecting but it’s okay for my hammie.

So silent!! My little hammie seems to love it!! Bought different wooden accessories and little house and I’m so pleased with everything
