Fritz has taken to running on his wheel incredibly fast in spurts of insanity at all hours, day and night. Ginger used to kind of trot on it, and Milo used to walk on it real slow, so they never made this much noise. I don't want to take Fritz's wheel away but the noise is driving me crazy, it's like a stagecoach rolling through my bedroom. It's a large Comfort Wheel; I bought it not knowing if anybody would use it so I went for something cheap. I'm thinking I'm going to have to invest in a quieter wheel for the little psycho. I imagine half of the responses here are going to be Silent Spinner and half are going to be Wodent Wheel, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Plus, I had a Silent Spinner for my hamster and it broke after a couple of months of rigorous running, and I know that's happened to lots of other hamster owners; I'm not sure if the large sized one is sturdier. Help?

Best wheel the world......well worth the money.....

Jeez that *is* expensive. Which size/style do you have? Tell me more about it? Do you know if other people round here use it too? The little nail file inserts look really interesting too.

LOL You're right about the noise when the ratties poop in the Wodent Wheel.

Yup, I agree. The Stealth Wheel by Atticworx is the best choice for a crazy runner. Unlike the Wodent Wheel, it has ball bearings which means it spins really easily. This should mean that your rattie can run faster in it. And it's super quiet.

I just tonight finished putting up a blog post that compares the Wodent Wheel and Stealth Wheel (using Hoot as a tester, of course). So if you want to see videos of rats running in the Stealth (I haven't captured Hoot using the Wodent Wheel yet), check out:

You can get both the Wodent and the Stealth at www.critterwheels.com too.

The stealth wheel is sooo worth the money! The only thing you hear are little rattie feets! I my stealth wheel!!!
