Review on Silent Runner 12" Regular: All-in-One Wheel + Cage Attachment for Sugar Gliders, Hamsters, Rats - Noiseless Exercise Solution! by Justin Herman

Compared to other wheels I've tried for my Hedgehog, this is the best choice when quietness, cleanliness and durability are priorities. It has a good heavy base so it is stable and well balanced. The front panel is removable and may not be needed for slower animals, but for a hedgehog it works best with the panel provided. My hedgehog is young and rough and can't stop when he needs to poop. He and his bike need frequent cleaning, and the other bikes are very inconvenient and tedious to clean, sometimes even more so than Hermann himself. However, the design of this bike makes it easy to disassemble and reassemble. The tread disintegrates into a single strip that can be cleaned and dried within a minute. The texture of the surface makes it easy to remove feces. Additionally, it provides much-needed traction for hedgehogs, which have soft, slippery little pads at the ends of their inexplicably long legs - a sad excuse for legs a cruel creator bestowed on an already clumsy and accident-prone animal. whose greatest joy is running very fast. I was distracted. Cleaning other wheels often results in wet rubber parts. These are the parts that provide quiet, and wetting them will cause corrosion over time. So they don't get so quiet over time. With this bike, nothing gets wet when cleaning, which shouldn't, so everything stays quiet. This is another benefit specific to hedgehogs, as they are nocturnal and walk most of the night. This product is about $10 more expensive than similar products, but the design justifies the price difference. If I had to say one negative thing about this bike, I would say that I would like a choice of colors. This is a very minor complaint as the functional benefits of this wheel far outweigh the slight aesthetic downside. If you're trying to choose a "quiet" exercise bike for your small animal, I recommend it. It's simply a better product than the two most comparable wheelsets.
