Review on ๐ŸŒป Silent Spinner Sunflower: Wood Hamster Exercise Wheel with Stand, Whisper-Quiet Performance by James Bullets

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Happy with this purchase.

I've had this steering wheel for a long time. It was easy to put together, although there were times it got stuck randomly and required a good 10-20 minutes of fiddling with it before it worked again. Fortunately, some time has passed since this happened. Looks just as beautiful as in the photos. It is quiet, easy to clean and will not be damaged by dish soap and water. The swollen metal wheel stand looks cute but leaves the wheel leaning backwards so I had to place it on a flat container lid from our kitchen and then cover the lid + stand with bedding to keep the wheel from bouncing and falling off when I use it bear hamster uses it. The 9 inch size is just right for the Syrian, his back doesn't arch in it. Although I may need to increase the size if it gets much bigger. the back of the wheel, necessary for its rotation, divided into two parts. It wasn't until I gave up trying to fix it and got up to go to the bathroom that I saw my hamster, who I thought was sleeping under his log by my bedroom door. Apparently my hamster was still trying to do the wheel. After it broke I pulled the faulty stand mentioned in my review from the pad and buried it in to stabilize it by tilting the wheel backwards so it could climb on it and get to the top of the tank to escape. It was December 23rd so I had to run to Petsmart and buy them a 12 inch silent spinner as it would take over two days to ship a new wheel from Revain. *Edit 2* Just wanted to clarify. Saying my hamster wasn't happy with the Silent Spinner so I was able to recreate the broken piece of thick paper plastic and the Petzilla wheel is now working again. I placed a small log behind the wheel to prevent it from falling backwards still happy with this purchase.
