I was just wanting some advice... I have found two metal wheels for my degus. They love them and are on them all the time. Is that OK? I am worried about...
Hi Christine I use the exact same wheels. I heard that these are the best, that you shouldnt use the ones that are enclosed on one side. I dont know how true...

Hi! Many thanks for the advice regarding the wheels. I was a little worried about the style of wheel as I am scared that the get caught in it but they are...
I agree with the general opinion here that the wire mesh wheels are fine. After having a rather bad time with the wire wheels with the actual spokes, I bought...
Heya Maniac You are right about the bearing, now that I think about it. There would be rubbing going on, since they werent machined for that purpose, the...
Hi Chrisine Glad it worked out. They do go nuts for thier wheels, just wait until they start spinning them from the outside, that is so hilarious. It's...
Hey Ciara I have mine attached to the side of the cage, and Sparky figured out how to get it off. Then Junior <who emulates everything Sparky does, hence the...
I've had a wire mesh type wheel in the cage for years. It's very tiny rectangles, like chicken wire but sturdy, with a purple resin coating that they can't...

I use olive oil too. Wouldn't try to WD40 cause they do sometimes gnaw at the wheel even though they can't chew through it. Whatever you do, don't try walnut...
