For Who?
Designed for sugar gliders, Syrian hamsters, female rats, and similar-sized animals.
Safe
The dual-ball bearing technology ensures a smooth, quiet spin so you can enjoy peace while your pets exercise. Unlike other wheels, there’s no axle, which means there’s no risk of fur or tail entanglement. Plus, the textured running tracks provide excellent grip for your pets.
Easy to Assemble
The wheel completely disassembles for easy cleaning, making it a breeze to maintain. And with bean-shaped openings and a solid black rear wall, this wheel is pet-preferred. Trust in the Silent Runner Wheel 12″ for a safe spin every time!
Variety of Tracks
We have 3 options for replaceable tracks. The Sandy Trimmer Track provides a soft, abrasive running surface for your pet while using their exercise wheel. Your pet’s nails will be naturally filed down as they run!
The Auto-Clean Track & Pro-Grid Track allows urine and other pet debris to drain from the wheel. This track requires much less cleaning than other solid-surfaced tracks and increases ventilation within the wheel.

Sugar gliders are active and playful creatures that thrive on exercise. A Silent Runner Wheel provides a safe, quiet, and enjoyable way for your sugar glider to get the physical activity they need, promoting healthy muscles and mental stimulation. Keep your glider happy and healthy with the perfect addition to their habitat!

Silent! Works great!
This is perfect. Itâs super cool how it glows in the dark. Itâs safe for our hamster to use. It works great. Also itâs silent I canât hear much of anything. And itâs super sturdy. I havenât had any problems.

Perfect wheel!
My Syrian hamster Norman, aka Ham-Ham, absolutely loves this wheel! I had tried out two different smaller ones, and he just ignored them. I barely had this one attached to his cage and he was in it and running! No more chewing on the bars out of frustration, no more madly trying to escape. Heâs just a much calmer and happier hamster now. Anyway, Norman and I are very pleased and I highly recommend this wheel to anyone with a larger size Syrian hamster. ð¹

The quietest wheel Iâve ever had! Iâve went through many!
It is not silent as claimed. Which is the same issue with all the wheels. However- it is the quietest Iâve ever found! And the price is very fair! Only wish the front of the wheel was bite proof. Cause my chinchillas bit off huge portions of it! Half is missing and considering it has glow in the dark aspect to it- I donât think thatâs healthy for them. I havenât found the chunks in their cage so I am worried that they are it! Thatâs the only reason I give it 4 and not 5 star. I honestly would love an upgraded version that is bite proof. It is not a cheap wheel but if you are looking for a quiet one- this one Iâd recommend.

Awesome wheel, came 2 days early. Hamster immediately loved it.
If youâre like me and you got a Syrian hamster without really knowing what youâre getting into, just save yourself the trouble and buy this wheel now. They get way bigger than pet store employees will tell you and a huge wheel is the best way to ensure theyâll never have issues with spine curvature. Donât be like me and find yourself buying 5 different wheels as your hamsters continues to morph from something the size of a baby mouse to something the size of a tiny guinea pig as you stand by in shock. Just get a big wheel now, and save yourself the trouble.Many times in life Iâve been reminded (sometimes painfully) that you get what you pay for. This is definitely one of those cases. The price might seem like itâs insanely expensive for a hamster wheel, but honestly itâs worth it. Absolutely silent, even more silent than the so-called silent spinners in fact. Iâm talking you cannot even tell if your animal uses it or not, because youâll never hear the thing. Sturdier than it looks, the stand is made of metal which I didnât expect. A good, solid heavy base. I had to purchase this wheel because my hamster kept knocking over her silent spinner which eventually broke it, I got this and Iâm pretty sure it would require human intervention to ever knock it over. Certainly a chunky Syrian hamster wonât be able to anymore. Finally it spins so smoothly and so easily that even though itâs 12 inches, Iâm almost certain mice or dwarf hamsters could use it.Absolutely worth the price. For such good quality I wouldnât expect any less. Also it came 2 days early so bonus points for that!

Best hamster wheel by far!!
I do love it… itâs a massive wheel but upon doing much research after (whoops) getting my hamster, I found that they can grow very large and they will need a wheel that can fit that height… his back on his other wheel was totally curved and I felt so bad for the poor boy so I did a lot of research and decided to spend the extra money to buy this wheel for him. As soon as I put it in his cage he walked right onto it and started running! He really loves it and it is quiet. I could hear it a bit at first but that was because it was too close to the glass of the tank he has as a cage so I moved it a bit forward and itâs good now, although, still I would not call it 100% silent but I think it as as silent as a wheel could possibly be.I like that it glows in the dark since hamsters see best in dim lighting so I like to think it provides some light for him to see when Iâm sleeping and the house is pretty much pitch black. Overall, itâs worth the money to get a large wheel that your hammy will never out grow and will be happy with forever!!

!!AMAZING!! *cleaning issue*
My girls absolutely LOVE this wheel! Itâs extremely silent and the only noise you can hear is their little feetð¥¹! (The noise that you hear in the video is my fan in the background and my rats pitter patter) Iâve only had one issue. I tried to take the front off of the wheel and couldnât manage to do it. Personally I like to soak all of their plastic stuff in the tub with white vinegar before I rinse it but I was able to unscrew the back and pop the metal bits out and just soak it in the tub like the rest of their stuff without taking the front off. Overall itâs a 10/10 from me!

Long lasting
We had this for a few years and it still works. We have 3 gliders and two wheels. This thing is still going strong!

Makes Knocking Sound
The wheel looks great and isnât too much of a hassle to clean. Our huge issue is that the wheel is marketed as silent but makes knocking noises whenever our Syrian hamster runs on it. It seems completely fine when we spin it with our hands, but the minute sheâs on it it starts to make banging and knocking sounds. The wheel is not hitting anything in the cage, it is simply the wheel. Incredibly disappointed because the wheel looks so nice and Paisley seemed to like running on it.

I got this hamster wheel as I knew the one I had was getting too small for my dude, but due to the ðµðµðµ I had to save up, and I wanted to make sure this one was good so I did some research and overall I’m VERY HAPPY with my purchase at 1st when I saw it I was like ð³ but once I put it in the cage (which is a bit of a struggle seeing how there is only 1 place it will fit in my cage) I was ð and gizmo was like ðð¤ªð¥°ð¯ð sceptical of all the $ and if it was as good as ppl said but I believe it is! It’s SUPER QUIET, my hamster loves it, it glows (noticeably) very well, it seems stable/sturdy/well built…. My boyfriend and his friends all made comments when I put it in the cage cuz they were at our house partying the day I did his cage clean and added it and 2 since then my bf has commented how 𤫠it is & how much ð gizmo seems in his wheel ðall my friends think he has an awesome cage, my boyfriends friends like socializing/playing with him, everyone is happy & ð/notice the difference this wheel makes

This is the only truly silent spinner I have found after spending a fortune on wheels! There is a wonderful solid base that stops the wheel being knocked over by any animal. It is so quiet I have to look to see if my Syrian hamster is running at all. It has a great glow in the dark front that is very fun to watch at night. My hamster isn’t that coordinated and used to run on her wheel and then fly off it all the time. The front cover of this keeps her on track and in the wheel so she doesn’t hurt herself. And to top it off, the whole thing comes apart for super easy cleaning. Highly recommend!!!!

The very best wheel I have ever purchased. Absolutely silent. Our Syrian big boy hopped in and spends hrs running. We have had everybtype of wheel. While this was very oricey given we had to ship to Canada, it is so worth the cost!

I really like this wheel. I bought it for my roof rat and itâs the perfect size for the cage I just bought and sufficient size for a rat. I like that it glows in the dark. Neat feature for when the rat would like to run at nighttime. I was apprehensive as itâs pricey with shipping but I love it and glad I purchased. Thanks for a good quality product!

It’s true that this wheel is fairly quiet. A few issues though – if you put the wheel on a glass base (like in an aquarium), you have to secure the base. As the hamster runs the wheel moves/slides around and then the base hits the side of the glass and it is no longer quiet. We put a bit of hamster bedding under it and that seems to solve the problem and the wheel stays for the most part in place. Other issue is that when the hamster is running on it the wheels the wheel tilts slightly downwards to the front. We contacted Amazon to ask for a replacement because we otherwise like the wheel but want the hamster to be able to run on a level surface and not angled. Amazon contacted the company. The company reached out asking for videos or pictures. I don’t mind sending but it is too hard to get the hamster to run on the wheel without bedding underneath to show an accurate picture because the wheel moves around on the glass bottom when being used. Not sure what to do. I will haver to contact the company again. Btw, our hamster is just a regular-sized hamster – not big by any means. Not sure why the weight of the hamster would make it tilt slightly forward – and yes, we checked the screws at the back of the wheel. It is a much quieter wheel than other wheels though.
