Review on Prevue Pet Products SPV90013 Hamster by Zoey Vaughn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great mouse wheel with some security modifications.

My mice prefer mesh wheels to hard plastic wheels because they can start very quickly, stop suddenly and let the wheel carry them around. I had no issues with feet or tails getting stuck in this wheel. I've read about the dangers of bumblebees, so I bought a 1/4" elastic from a craft store and threaded it through all the holes so the mice wouldn't go straight through the wires, but they can still get a good enough grip to loop the loop. The wheels also had a couple of sharp pieces of mesh sticking out from where it attached to the round frame. It was sharp enough to cut me, so for my mice's safety, I used my hot glue gun to apply a layer of glue around the frame on either side, covering the ends of the wires. Since all the materials are washable, I can soak them in vinegar and soak water to clean them.
