Rodent - Semi-Enclosed Exercise Wodent Wheel 'Wobust' 12" Blue

Despite my horrible experience with Small Joys, and that my rats won't use this or any wheel, I'm still giving the product itself a good review because the PRODUCT deserves a good review.This is a very well made, safe wheel. It is easy to put together and disassemble for cleaning. It doesn't make a lot of noise, hardly any at all. I spun it myself to see how much noise it would make if my rats used it. The stand of this wheel is heavy and made in such a way that it will not easily be overturned. I believe this wheel would get many, many uses and definitely worth spending more money to get it.It's not designed to be mounted to the cage. With a bit of creativity, it can be done though. I mounted mine to the side and from the top of the cage using zip ties.This is a VERY LARGE wheel. If you need a large wheel for your pet, hopefully you also have a large cage. It would not fit into my old cage. Even in a Double Critter Nation, it takes up a significant amount of space. But if your animals will use it, it's definitely worth putting inside the cage.For a small pet that will actually use it, this is a very good choice.***************************************************SELLER ALERT*********************************************If you buy the Wodent Wheel, just DON'T buy it from Small Joys. Mine was sold as new, but was in fact used and damaged. I made a note of the used condition in my seller review.Small Joys didn't respond to my seller review for 3 weeks. When she did, she argued with me about the condition of the wheel, giving many contradictory reasons explaining that it couldn't possibly be used.It was clearly used by a small pet. It also had a number a scratches obviously NOT made by an animal on the front and back surfaces of the wheel. The scratches look like ones resulting from careless handling, like bumping it hard against something or having heavy items laying on top of the wheel. It was dirty and had numerous finger prints on every surface. Although it was actually used, the price was very low would have been fair for what I got. I made it very clear to her that I wasn't looking for any compensation of any sort. I am keeping it because one day, my rats may decide that they want to use it, or a future might like it.Small Joys has terrible customer service and apparently believes that she is incapable of making mistakes. If I could change my review of Small Joys, I would give 1 star instead of 3.

I was so looking forward to seeing them run in this wheel, but they're having none of it. It seems well-made and it's designed so feet or tails won't get caught in the wheel, which is great, but my rats were scared of it. I tried placing treats in it and they wouldn't even enter for the treats. They seemed frightened by the fact that it moved whenever they stepped on the edge of an opening. I ended up returning this and getting a rat saucer which is similar but not enclosed, more like a spinning saucer or dish, but they weren't impressed with that either. They were thrilled, however, with the two Amazon boxes I taped together and cut entrance and exit holes out of. Lol.

The Wodent Wheel really helped out my chinchillas and my pocket book. The chinchillas had been breaking their previous wheels at a prodigious rate, but the wodent wheel doesn't have room for them to take flying leaps into the wheel. Instead, they need to squeeze in, which being rodents, they greatly enjoy.They use it a lot, and by fastening it to the edge of the wire cage with some wire, it doesn't bounce around the cage and fall over. My only complaint is one of my pets' favorite things: if they're in it, I can't grab them at all. When I open the cage to hang out with them, I can be sure one of them will sprint straight into their favorite wheel!

Searched far and wide for a wheel that my picky Chin would like and i found it! It can still use some improvements, there are no perfect wheels out there, but this is as best as i am going to find. I wish the flowing was more sturdy, when my Chin runs in it, it moves all over the place.

This is big. The description posted by the seller is very accurate. Before you order it, though, get out your measuring tape. Our rats kinda like it, but I think it's going to take some getting used to for them. It is a durable, well made wheel and I would happily order again from the same merchant. Service was quick and awesome!!! And the price was the best around even including shipping.
