This wheel was so good to start off with, it was really quiet and my hamster loved it after a month or so the wheel sort of dropped so it now rubs on the stand when my hamster runs on it, making it very hard for my hamster to move it and also making it very noisy !

Was thrilled with this when I purchased it but within a very short space of time it started to wobble and make a terrible noise, I gone back to my plastic wheel I had before, am disappointed because I love the natural look of it 😞

Absolutely loved this wheel (1st one ordered) & when I needed a replacement I came straight here. However, each one I tried had gaps between the cork & the edge, so I would worry about paws getting stuck in the grooves. I have mentioned it in my returns & seriously doubt I will try one again, which is sad, as it is a superb silent wheel.

I love the size of this wheel and it is great if sealed, the only problem is after a few months the clicking as it turned kept everyone awake even from downstairs, however, best out of all I have tried so will be ordering another.

i’ve had the wheel about two weeks now and at first it was great but within this time space it has really gotten bad. it’s no longer silent as if it’s loosened and this is the second time this has happened with this product.

The wheel came wobbly and badly finished but Zooplus have me a refund straight away.

I have only had this wheel for a week and when it does work it is fantastic and almost silent but my hamster can only do a few rotations before it scrapes along the bottom of the stand and she can no longer push it around. It seems very wonky but I keep trying to straighten it to no avail. I may have a faulty one as I have only ever heard good things about it, hence the purchase. I have however been left very disappointed and now need a new one. Sadly I can’t afford to risk this one again.

This wheel is good- they have the appropriate sizes and it is very pretty and natural. BUT AFTER TWO MONTHS it makes the loudest noise ever. I had heard in reviews this before I bought it and decided that I would buy it anyway because I needed a quick fix, but I really regret it now. It bangs into itself and clicks a lot because my hamsters weight has been pulling it down and the design wouldn’t let you toggle and fix the axel as it is all incased in wood.

After seeing other people saying how quiet it was, I thought this would be great as I keep my hammies in my Bedroom and I’m quite a light sleeper. It arrived and I thought it felt quite well made, and for the first night it wasn’t too loud, but afterwards it began to make some weird knocking and louder whirring noises. It’s not leaning on anything to cause the knocking, and now I’m quite disappointed.

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.

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

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.
