TRIXIE exercise wheel with ball bearings – for hamsters – closed cork running surface – untreated wood – exercise wheel diameter: 28 cm – 60923

I bought this wheel as an upgrade for my pair of gerbils and have been really happy with it. Compared to plastic wheels it is very quiet which is great because the gerbils love it! I really like the cork track inside, it has given them much better grip which makes me feel better and so far they have not been tempted to chew it. The wheel itself looks great in the tank and has no exposed bolts of metal that the gerbils can access.

Nicely made wheel and indeed is very quiet - noise comes from the fact the cage bottom is mesh and it bounces a bit when they are running at full tilt. Is getting a bit chewed up (have degus) and one decided to remove patches of the cork lining but are still safely using it -they adore it and it is in constant use usually with all four trying to get on together, there is room for two at a time. Good sturdy base. Only real problem is the size - wouldn't fit through the door (I did realize this before I purchased!) and had to remove base of cage to access, however they do need a big wheel to prevent spinal problems when running. All in all very pleased with this and would recommend. -- 3 months down the line and what's left of the original wheel looks like a lollipop (see photo) - the degus really enjoyed demolishing it. Have since moved on to a solid metal (tic-tac) wheel. Do have another of these wooden wheels in another cage which seems to be lasting better - think it depends on the degus you have, but rodents will be rodents - still think its a good wheel if you are prepared to pay for replacements every so often.

I have a Syrian hamster and he is a big boy and he fits perfectly in this wheel and it really makes such a little sound great wheel and still going strong!!

I bought this wheel in May 2017. Pros: - Great size for Syrian hamsters - no back arching so no spinal damage. - Attractive in the cage compared to other wheels - great for a 'natural' look - Turns very smoothly, your hamster will have no trouble running on this wheel - Quiet when you first get it Cons - Develops a wobble over time and this causes noise - not good if the hamster is in the bedroom - Needs to be coated in plasticote before use else the hamster pee will soak into the wheel Bottom line - A very, VERY good wheel. I have loved owning this wheel and my hamster has been very happily using it. Doesn't tip over, very sturdy... but since we have the hamster in the bedroom I am now buying a silent spinner instead in the hope that we can be rid of the noise!

Well wow! If hamster wheels were cars this would have to be the Rolls-Royce. It’s absolutely wonderful. The wheel is so well made to the highest quality that is very rare in the small pet world. It’s beautifully made. The wood is smooth and solid - no splinters here! I bought this after noticing that our Syrian hamster was rarely using her wheel and on the rare occasion she did use it, I was increasingly concerned about the arch of her back. This wheel enables her to run with a straight spine whilst giving plenty of width too so she’s not half coming out of it all the time. The cork gives a nice flat, grippy but gentle surface on her feet and it’s lovely and quiet. It took seconds after placing it in her cage for her to try it out and she’s absolutely loving it. It’s absolutely worth the money as I have no doubt this will have a very positive impact on her overall health and happiness. One thing I’ve done which I’d probably recommend is just anchor the back of the weel with a bit of string to the side of the cage. Due to its size, and the fact that I have a hamster who loves to climb and get into nooks and crannies, I thought it would be worth doing this just to avoid it ever tipping over when she decides to squeeze behind it and clamber around. Would never go back to any other wheel after this.

After reading the mixed reviews I decided to take a risk and buy- am sending it back ASAP. The wheel came in terrible packaging, no protection at all, the wheel itself was covered in spinters and even after sanding it down it still felt prickly. After sanding it down to a better standard and cleaning it I gave it a test spin, the wheel was quiet and seemed smooth, the only issue was that the cork on the inside that the hamsters run on felt rough on my fingers so I put it in my hammys home just to test run. He immediately went to it and started running but less than a minute after I heard a sort of clunking noise and the wheel seemed to drop? I guess the axis was off or something because it started to spin at an angle, was wobbly and once it made a full turn it dropped. spin, wobble, drop. This caused my hammy to lose his balance and fall off so I took it out straight away. I was planning to replace the Cork anyway due to the roughness but the unstableness of the wheel made me decide to arrange sending it back, I'm disappointed but not too surprised and I've seen a few bad reviews of this particular wheel. PROS: apart from the splinters the wheel does look good, it's quiet and is a good size for dwarf hamsters. If it wasn't faulty in anyway it'd be 10/10 CONS: possibly dangerous, wonky and unstable. Spliters can cause cuts, wheel off axis, Cork on the inside of the wheel was uneven, felt like sandpaper, not suitable for long term use on little paws, wood can stain easily, overall poor finish and bad packaging.

Türkiye'de Suriye hamsterlarına uygun olan sessiz 28 cm ve üstü tekerlek bulunmuyor. Bu yüzden bunu sipariş ettim. Hamsterım çok sevdi. Teşekkürler! Hiçbir sorun yaşamadım.

Mes gerbilles adorent! Il tient bien dans le temps

Love this thing and this brand. It’s beautiful and it fit amazing in the nature themed cage I’m building

The item arrived with the wrong shipping label on the actual box which the seller tried to cover with another sticker, a bit sketchy! But the product itself is exactly as described. It’s sturdy, runs silently, and my hamster absolutely loves it. Worth it overall!
