Review: If you own a Syrian this is the smallest size a hamster should have. They should never be curved on a wheel. Also even “silent spinners” are insanely loud. Don’t be cheap. I paid 44.99 CDN plus 7$ Shipping so about 50$ and I have not HEARD HIM SINCE. Truly silent & huge. Also if anyone in the reviews complains it’s too big for their cage it’s because they do NOT have the right sized enclosure. This wheel should fit with adequate room. If you cannot accommodate a wheel of this size you need to look into smaller animals like mice or robo hamsters. Again IF YOU OWN A SYRIAN. Buy it. Now. Before the price raises! You won’t be disappointed I promise. My boy already is happier and it’s been 2 weeks. And I sleep through the night with him right beside me in an area near my bed area. THE GOAT OF ALL HAMSTER WHEELS
Review: I love this wheel. We got it for our Syrian hamster. It's quiet which is great in my son's bedroom at night. It's also very easy to clean. Hamsters like to poop in the wheel so easy to clean is very important to me. It's sturdy and stable. Great value and size. We have the large wooden cage with plexiglass.

## Features

- ✔ SAFE - The axle-free design eliminates a dangerous center bar, reducing the risk of fur/tail entanglement, pet wrap-a-round, curvature of the spine, and other injuries.
- ✔ SILENT - Innovative dual ball-bearings create a whisper-silent spin. Two stainless steel ball-bearings are within the back plate of the wheel, ensuring the wheel glides smooth and silent. The bearings SPIN around the bolt as your pet runs, unlike annoying squeaky wheels on the market that have a center axle that creates friction and noise.
- ✔ SANITARY - Wheel completely disassembles for deep cleaning, no nooks for feces to hide in.
- ✔ IDEAL FOR - Sugar Gliders, larger Hamsters, and other similar small animals (not suggested for chewers)
