Our Exercise Wheel Kits provide a number of advantages:
1) Glues to the cage itself. No banging against the cage walls. (Use 100% silicone to attach. Not included.)
2) Provides more room. Stays in place and can be attached up higher.
3) No tipping and no entrapment. Some wheels enclosed on one side can entrap your pet if it falls over. They can also get entrapped in the floor stand.
4) Operates silently. Use wax from a crayon to lubricate.
5) Does not capture urine, so no smell. Some newer-type wheels, in an effort to avoid bumble-foot, have moved away from the mesh floor, so they get smelly. We have had no bumble-foot issues with our gerbils.
6) Not chew-able. Plastic wheels never seem to match to power of a gerbils' ability to gnaw.
Kits include: Wheel, Axle, Hubs, Spacers and a template to mark our suggested mounting locations.
