2.0 out of 5 stars More Bang for the buck., February 29, 2008

We've gone on our second 12" Silent Spinner Wheel in less than a year. It is fairly silent at first, then gets slowly louder and louder. It's not deafening by any means, nor is it of any real bother. It just isn't the "silent spinner" that is advertised. We use it for our hedgehog (she weighs less than 260 grams) -- and she loves it. My real concern is that the yellow knob on the inside of the wheel continues to loosen and pop off, causing the wheel to slip away from the mount. I'm not sure if it is a design flaw or we just get defective merchandise? It is properly mounted to the side of the cage according to instructions and not obstructed in anyway. Luckily, our hedgie hasn't been hurt by this problem. For the money, I would expect the wheel to be much more durable than it is -- compared to other wheels on the market. The stresses our hedgehog exerts is no more than any other small animal, and the wheel seems to be capable of withstanding much more. I've written an e-mail to customer support at Super Pet to get some answers regarding this issue. Hopefully, if it is a design flaw, they will resolve it. Until then, I would look elsewhere for an exercise wheel. Hope this helps any potential buyers.

I have a hedgehog (who is 100% nocturnal) and she adores her wheel! This is absolutely a SILENT wheel. I had one previously that was somewhat quiet but this one has been improved (it is a little more sturdy) and is so silent I worry that she's not getting her exercise because I can't hear her at night! I have to check on her sometimes to be sure!

1.0 out of 5 stars It hurt my little girl!, April 13, 2009

This review is from: Super Pet Chinchilla 12-Inch Giant Silent Spinner Exercise Wheel, Colors Vary (Misc.)

When I got this wheel for my hamster, I thought it was great. Cute, quiet, made her run like the wind. Then I saw the little blood prints all inside the wheel and her cage. Checked her out and found that one of her feet had a layer of skin scraped off. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure it was from one of the grooves where the 2 sections of plastic click together. They are pretty sharp. It is disappointing that this didn't work out. Now I have a truly solid wheel with nothing that can hurt her. Too bad it can wake the dead. The sacrifices we make for our rodents.
