Finally found a wheel that works perfectly for a Syrian
My hamster wouldnât run on anything else until we got this. We (as well intentioned but uninformed hamster owners) originally had a small wire wheel that someone gave us. We realized very quickly it was wayyyy too small, then got a flying saucer, she never even tried using it and again, I think it was too small, and then finally got an 8.5 inch silent spinner and she looked at us like we were crazy and stupid for even trying to give it to her. It was terrible, noisy and really unstable and still TOO SMALL for a Syrian! Enter the silent runner. Itâs 12 inches (perfect size for a Syrian), runs nicely without the normal creaking and loudness of a normal wheel, and fit onto her Prevue 528 cage just perfectly. It does occasionally âthumpâ like itâs hitting the bottom side of the cage when she starts running really fast but itâs not a huge deal and doesnât seem to bother her. She took to this wheel immediately and sometimes at night I find her just sitting in it chilling because itâs semi enclosed and seems like a safe option. My main issue with it is that my hamster has taken to peeing on the wheel while she runs so it leaves the wheel quite stinky after a day or so. Itâs pretty normal, however and Iâve taken to wiping off the wheel with a baby wipe every morning and will take it out to wash it when I do full cage cleans. She has also taken to randomly falling asleep on the wheel bc she ran for so long that she tired herself out! When I try to gently move her to her shelter she shambles in like a drunk old lady because she is so tired ð So I guess thatâs a win! I am not a fan of the color though and hope they will look into making different ones other than the yellow and orange. But overall it was a wonderful purchase that has given my hamster something for her to do at night. The enclosed front makes her feel safe and stable while running and you canât put a price on happiness. She seems like a much happier little girl now and I am so thankful I got this wheel!

Great wheel!
I have tried so many different wheels for my robo hamster, Olly, and this one is definitely the best. He’s a speed demon, so he needs a huge wheel to keep him from spinning around on it and falling off. He still does have occasional accidents on this wheel, but not nearly as many as he did with smaller wheels. The wheel arrived already assembled and it’s really easy to adjust the tightness by loosening or tightening the screw on the back. It’s also SUPER quiet! Great value for the price, especially compared to 12-inch wheels from other brands.

Totally silent
These are ABSOLUTELY SILENT. The only sounds you can hear are the pitter patter of little feet or the back of the wheel hitting the wall of the enclosure. I just put a little padding on the back and it works like a charm.

Very quiet!
Yes they are extremely quiet as long as you don’t have a big fat rat and you don’t use the piece that snaps on the front. I opted to leave it off because I didn’t want it to get full of waste but unfortunately the connection on the track comes apart and makes it unusable…… So either use the front cover or I would just super glue the part that holds the track together before it gets put in the cage and covered in filth….lol but yes it is the quietest and nicest wheel I have found!

Amazing so quiet
This hamster wheel is so much better than the previous one I got from Petco. Itâs so nice and quiet and my hamster sure loves it no more sleepless nights for me.

Beloved young squirrels love this!
We are rehabbing two baby squirrels who have been with us since they were approximately 4 weeks old, eyes still shut, and are now 15 weeks old.I bought this wheel & another brandâs wheel to help entertain them, but also to allow them to get exercise. Although they are out with us at least twice a day and their cage is 4-stories, I worry they wonât have the strength and endurance a young squirrel raised with mom outdoors would have. Weâre slowly working up to soft release so exercise is important.I started with the other brandâs wheel and attached to the cage since the stand was wobbly before a wild squirrel climbed on. You can see from the video that the girls run like they stole something, then collapse, just to start going 100mph again. Sometimes they both get in so a wobbly wheel isnât going to work. Attaching wheel #1 to the cage was more wobbly and the plastic attachment clip broke within 2 minutes time.After consoling my startled little ladies who donât prefer things crashing around in their safe place and cursing the other company, I put this wheel into the cage. They immediately went to check it out & spun it with their paws from the outside. Wheel #1 didnât have the outer guard and I wasnât sure if they would feel too claustrophobic in this one. I neednât have worried because moments later, one climbed in, walked a bit, came out, and sister went in next. Within 30 mins they were happily running.This wheel was only $6 more than the first and the quality is infinitely better. Plastic is sturdy despite relatively heavy (they are nearly adult sized) squirrels running at top speed. It has also withstood the teething they do to everything that enters their cage. The guard keeps them from accidentally flying out on their jogs.I love this product; itâs well worth the money.

Perfect
Itâs just right for my syrian, no sound other than the feet pitter patting. Had to wash beforehand due to a funky smell on it though. Pretty sure it was used and returned because I wiped it and got yellow on the towel. Nothing serious though.

Excelente producto, llegó antes de lo esperado, muy buen material y le sirvió excelente a mis petauros.

Really good wheel. The brand obviously put a lot of effort into making a quality wheel and it shows. Itâs silent, same, and a suitable size for hamsters. Because the stand is a flag metal surface Iâd recommend taping it down to a platform or something or weighing it down with stones if itâs sitting in the bedding because it tends to slide a little but itâs not a big problem and is easily fixed. 100% recommend best wheel on the market.

Was pricy and took some time to arrive but we’re so very happy with the wheel so far.. all I can here is little hamster feet running along on it. It’s very quiet and that is good because sometimes people sleep in the same room. Biggest thing is that our little buddy seems to love it and is getting lots of exercise. We’re using it on the stand because the setup is a big bin instead of a wire cage but it did come with the pads to attach to a cage. Over all seems great and well worth it.

If you own a Syrian this is the smallest size a hamster should have. They should never be curved on a wheel. Also even âsilent spinnersâ are insanely loud. Donât be cheap. I paid 44.99 CDN plus 7$ Shipping so about 50$ and I have not HEARD HIM SINCE. Truly silent & huge. Also if anyone in the reviews complains itâs too big for their cage itâs because they do NOT have the right sized enclosure. This wheel should fit with adequate room. If you cannot accommodate a wheel of this size you need to look into smaller animals like mice or robo hamsters. Again IF YOU OWN A SYRIAN. Buy it. Now. Before the price raises! You wonât be disappointed I promise. My boy already is happier and itâs been 2 weeks. And I sleep through the night with him right beside me in an area near my bed area. THE GOAT OF ALL HAMSTER WHEELS

I was scared when I receive it because is a strong material in a poor package and ready to use.I tried setting it up or adjusting it in my way but I couldn’t, which can be a good thing because the hamster is safe.The white âspeed bumpâ I get concerned if my hamster can trip and get hurt Iâll keep my eyes, but he loves it and I get scared to take it away from him.
