AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
The Trixie wheel is praised for its size, making it suitable for Syrian hamsters. However, many users report issues with quality, including noise, wobbling, and durability problems. Some found it difficult to fix or clean, and the wheel's cork lining was easily chewed off. Despite these drawbacks, a few users managed to resolve assembly issues and enjoy silent operation. Overall, while it has potential, the wheel's quality seems inconsistent.
Suitable size for Syrian hamsters
Silent operation when assembled correctly
Fast delivery
Poor quality leading to noise and wobbling
Durability issues, often deteriorates quickly

Top balance bike
My runners have the larger wheel. It’s not painted, and we had to do it ourselves. Honestly, for this price, that’s a bit cheeky.
Otherwise, it’s well-made and never noisy! Highly recommended – but only the larger one!

Quietest Wheel Ever!
I've had so many wheels that have been advertised as ''silent'' or ''quiet'' this one just beats them all in every remark, I cant hear a thing from it! I have the 28cm one and it super light so my hammy can run in it easily too!

Great balance bike at a fantastic price
A bit stiff at first, but my two racers love it. I particularly appreciate the seamless finish. And it seems to taste good too ;)

Suitable but with flaws
I bought the 27cm running wheel for my dwarf hamster (high Campbell proportion) and painted it. It gives a fairly solid impression, wobbles a bit, but is still quite quiet and basically suitable for hamsters. However, a downside is that the front edge or rim should be sanded down slightly, as it’s quite sharp and contains small splinters. Additionally, the gaps between the wood and cork tend to trap small droppings, which are difficult to remove.

Happy Runners
We bought the larger exercise wheel for our two runners. I’m very happy with it; it’s truly silent. The slight imbalance doesn’t bother us at all. The only downside – it’s not painted, but for this price, it’s simply TOP!
Please keep offering it at this amazing price – I’ll keep ordering it again and again if needed.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Stylish balance bike
The exercise wheel is impressively quiet and looks really great for the price. Can't say much more yet as it's not in the enclosure yet. :-)

Absolutely recommendable
Finally, an affordable and perfectly flawless exercise wheel for my hamsters ^^
By buying this, I’ve really done something good for my little darlings.
I placed it on a pedestal in the enclosure
(got a wooden board cut at the DIY store and picked up a round wooden rod there as well. Sawed it into stilts and glued them on. And just like that, the running fun was guaranteed).

Great for the price!
Super quiet, minimal imbalance, but it doesn’t bother at all. The mice run wonderfully on the soft cork. I glued it to the roof of a small hut with some wood glue so that it doesn’t sit in the bedding.

Hamster
I ordered the large exercise wheel for my hamster and I'm very satisfied. My hamster is still a bit overwhelmed by the size at the moment and isn't running quite "smoothly" yet, but I think that'll improve over time. For the price, it's unbeatable and I can definitely recommend it!

Oh dear...
The wheel is beautiful.
The hamster loves it.
The hamster loves the cork.
The hamster chewed off the cork in less than 8 hours.
Still running in it so - just as lovely but no cork.

Excellent running wheel for my hamster
Got the largest version for my Syrian hamster - I chose it because of its size, simple wooden design, guarantee of silence, and the use off cork to be kind to my hamster's joints. It lives up to all of my expectations. My hamster and I couldn't be happier!

Great!
I bought the wheel for my two racers and I’m absolutely thrilled!
It took them two weeks to get used to the new wheel, but now they’re using it non-stop. It’s super quiet and moves really easily.
However, the wheel with a 21cm diameter seems almost a bit small, so next time I’ll order a size up.

Super!
The wheel is absolutely top-notch!
Apart from the pattering of the hamster's little feet, you can't hear a thing! The hamster can't get hurt anywhere, and there are no sore feet either. Brilliant!

Silent hamster wheel!
This wheel is great! Silent (apart from the sound of tiny footsteps), chewable and sturdy. Came well packaged with no rough edges. Highly recommended!

Amazing hamster wheel
I love this wheel for my Syrian hamster! I nerddd a silent one as he's in my room and his old one was so loud! This one is so quiet! And he can run so much smoother and faster without it being too loud, would recommend to anyone with a spacious cage as they both are quite big in size:)

Gerbil Part 2
My five female gerbils have been using it almost non-stop for about seven weeks now. It's no longer running smoothly; it seems kind of worn out. As a result, it's also very noisy. Since the wheel is relatively inexpensive, I've decided not to bother with fixing or cleaning the next one but to replace it straight away.

Looks great, but terrible to clean
I got this for my AP Hedgehog, and it only lasted a couple of weeks. Impossible to clean- fell apart when wet.
Needs to either be varnished, or be sure your pet won't wee of poo in it!
