Product Information

I've never used the 28 Trixie wheel without the front cover but it should be safe because the spindle is too high up to touch the hamster's back.

I find the Trixie one works better screwed upside down in the cage (it can never scrape on the bottom then which can happen as it gets older and bearings go a bit.A hamster would use this wheel for an average 8km a night and in the wild their back would remain straight, sadly for a hamster who uses this wheel it has to experience running with a curved back. Wheels which are smaller than 28cm (11″) should not be advertised as being suitable for a Syrian Hamster. This humongous 28cm Ferris Wheel from Trixie is a phenomenal addition to an extra-large hamster cage and provides plenty of benefits for your porky rodent. A total of 1–3 wounds, separate in time, developed on the paws (mostly the hind ones) of almost all animals.

Please check the wheel regularly for signs of nibbling, and where necessary, sand down to avoid injury to your pet. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. A super comfy and versatile wheel from Interpet, this large wheel comes on a free-standing base meaning you can easily move it around their cage to the best position. Without one, you might notice disturbing behaviours such as gnawing at the bars on their cage and chewing their own skin and hair.They also make 12 inch metal wheels in various colors, and I wouldn't go smaller than that with Syrians just to be completely safe - something bucket wheels are severely lacking in terms of wheels like the Carolina ones which are somewhere around 10 inches or just over in diameter which isn't going to work for many Syrians as it would be too small for them to properly run with a flat back. A small wheel can cause permanent injury to your hamsters back, leaving your hamster in unnecessary pain and discomfort.
