Dangerous for your hamster.

Terrible. I looked at it and decided not to let the hamster use it for fear it would bite it. WHY STUCK THERE A SHARP METAL from where the hamster runs ON THIS WHEEL! Also, the metal holes on the wheel are so light that your feet will get stuck. I ended up taking his old wheel and using a stand for that wheel to make a new wheel for it. Be careful that you buy your hamster.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Crumpled

Standard wheel fits exercise bike

One of the two I bought came without a kickstand. The packing worker was either completely stupid or extremely lazy. Of course, if you order two identical wheels, they must have both bases. We are waiting for the seller to fix everything. Otherwise the rating drops to one star. The base arms had to be bent slightly to eliminate drag and allow the wheel to slide easily. The noise is zero as long as you lubricate the wheel with mineral oil and keep (or secure) the washer under the base. .Clean in

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some cons

I don't understand the good reviews either

I don't understand the good reviews either. The wheel simply sits on the stand that comes with the kit. As the wheel spins, it falls off the stand. there's nothing helping it stay put at all. We will try to bend the stand with pliers to hold the wheel better, if not we will return it because honestly a wheel that doesn't spin and just falls everywhere is useless to us. It's ok, our cage is just a small cage that takes up most of the space. So keep in mind that he is also quite large. This isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Useless functions

Not made for animals

This wheel requires some form of wire attachment to the end of the mesh that forms the tread of the wheel. Wires stick out and poke/scratch little friends. Just cut the item flush. It's just bad craftsmanship. The wire is also too thin to comfortably walk on, e.g. B. Walking barefoot on a set of arms. The beloved mouse was clearly unhappy with her temporary replacement lol due to her much prettier wheel being thrown away because it was difficult to keep clean. The best option in my opinion areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Modern

I now have two exercise bikes

I've had one of these for about seven years. My first pair of mice didn't use it at all. They preferred plastic. My new mice seem to love this wheel though. They loved it so much that three of them tried walking on it instead of a plastic bike. So I ordered another one. Now I have two! I suggest a small one for all mice. This is the perfect size for her. It's durable, you can hold it well. It's big enough not to bend your back. And it's more open to them. My only downside is that any pet canโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • I don't remember

If you put a hard surface on the net, it's okay for an animal.

Pros: Solid metal means no chewed plastic and more durability Doesn't wobble much Cons: Mesh isn't safe for toes as they can slip and snap while walking - same goes for the tips of their tails. Put a hard surface outside or make a cloth cover. Welding is not very - loose and sharp in places. Noisy! You're most likely putting this on a metal cage if you're using hooks. Metal on metal all night = lots of noise. Not suitable for multi-animal cages. While it's tail-proof for one animal, a secondโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nicely packaged
Cons
  • Requires outlet

The hamster loves his big running wheel.

I bought an 11 inch exercise wheel for my Syrian Hamster and she loves it. The design makes this bike strong, when she rides her bike there is very little movement or flex. I woven hemp threads into the wire mesh because if her leg slipped through the holes, it could severely injure, dislocate, or break the leg. I slip a small piece of air line tubing over the center bar to keep the wheel securely in its path. As the wheel is metal it's easy to adjust the height by bending the metal rods, Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Compatibility

Works great for our rats!

I know that people either love this bike or they don't. I personally don't think there is a right/wrong wheel for rodents. This depends on your pet and your comfort level as a pet owner. We have both this mesh design and a one-piece closed-side plastic wheel. 2 of our female rats prefer the all-plastic wheel and the other prefers this open mesh. Therefore, like other users, I find both styles to be very functional with their pros and cons. So I think this grid style works very well withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
