Product Information

I can imagine that this might be unpleasant or even impossible for some gerbils, especially young or older gerbils. Our large hamster wheels feature a spacious running surface, giving your pet plenty of room to run and play. It also comes with clips to help attach it to the side of a wire cage and improve stability and you can choose between small, large or giant sizes! The most important thing to consider when purchasing a wheel is the size of your actual hamster, as you don’t want to purchase one too large or small for them.

However, I will say that the Trixie plastic wheels have actually improved slightly with a few modifications.

So naturally, if you own one, you’re going to have to make sure you purchase a hamster wheel that can support your chunky pal!

The wheel also provides better and safer grip for your rodent to race on and a closed back and safety stand prevents your hamster from ever getting caught or risking injury. That wheel gave some indication that Pets at Home where wiling to change but they hadn’t quite got it right. The very popular Syrian hamster is the largest in the world and can grow up to an alarming 6 or 7 inches in length.The Hamster loving community get frustrated to see tiny wheels being advertised as suitable for both Dwarf and Syrian Hamsters (This is probably because it would only fit a tiny cheap cage). Despite this fact, hamsters will continue to use the small wheels and over time it can cause damage to the spine.
