15″ Aluminum Alloy Chinchilla Exercise Wheels – Large Small Animals Running Wheels for Chinchilla Syria Hamsters Fancy Rats Hedgehog Other Small Animals

Quality wheel!
I waited to review the wheel to see how my chinchilla would adapt to it. The wheel was easy for me to assemble it by myself and it’s a very sturdy wheel. The size is perfect. The weight took my by surprise a little bit as I’ve never really carried sturdy quality metal like that before. It’s very easy to clean and sweep things out of it. My chinchilla took 8 months to use it as she didn’t know what it was and she was definitely terrified of it. She didn’t even put her paws inside it until literally out of nowhere just decided she wanted to jump in it for the heck of it. It’s extremely quiet even when she’s running full speed on it. For the people that complain about noise, there’s instructions on how you have to put it in just right otherwise it’s gonna create noise due to it being placed wrong and the metal being off set with the rest of the cage metal for critter and ferret nation cages so keep that in mind when putting it together and use measuring tapes to line it up properly!

Love! But don’t put on the door of the cage!
I am giving five stars because overall, this product is great. However, i did receive a somewhat dented wheel. My thought is someone returned it after accidentally denting the inside, or a piece had hit around during delivery. It was very minor and isn’t very noticeable, and didn’t affect the wheel function at all (and it was on the inner part where the screws connect to the cage so not on the part where my chin runs and therefore still deemed very safe for him). Now for the review of the product overall:This really is zero sound – however, like previous reviews state, depending on your chin’s run level, it will shake the cage if they run hard! Which is some noise but not much at all (my chin is in my bedroom and I can still sleep, but I have always worn earplugs lol). NOTE that you DO NOT want to put this wheel on the door of the critter nation cage. It rattled so loud my neighbors could hear! Once I moved it to the side of his cage, I understood the “soundless” part of the product description. The door locks rattle loudly if you put it on the door, but after some redecorating, I figured out a way to move it around so it would still be accessible and loved. He never took to any other wheel before and I was surprised how he instantly took to this one. He hasn’t stopped running and it’s been two weeks! So happy with this product overall (and so is my chin). Pricey, but worth it.

YKD 15″ Chinchilla wheel
Great wheel and the quietest I have found yet! My male chinchilla loves it! Have tried others stating they were ultra quiet, this wheel is the best by far!! Waiting for a purple one now, had to buy another YKD brand wheel for my female chinchilla, her cutting wheel is really loud, not ultra quiet as advertised!!

Excellent but Huge.
This wheel is at least equal or better than any other critter wheel we’ve ever owned and we tend to spoil our pets. The construction and materials couldn’t be better. My wife even loves the purple color. Our Chinchilla took right to it.Now. Note that we have a female Chinchilla and also note that we have a huge three level Midwest Ferret Nation habitat that she lives in. This wheel is huge. Bigger than any we’ve ever owned. If you own a Chinchilla, Ferret, Rat or similarly sized rodent housed in a decent sized habitat you’ll be fine. If you own any rodent of a smaller size, including male Chinchillas, this wheel will probably be too much for them to handle.
