Chinchillas
& other small pets require lots of exercise to remain healthy. For
cage-bound pets, the best option is an exercise wheel.
* 16" diameter with a 4" running path
* Lathe spun steel wheel with textured surface for traction
* Solid running surface prevents entanglement injuries
* Maintenance free bearing
* Galvanized wheel and mounting bracket to prevent rust
* Easy to install and remove
* All parts manufactured and assembled in the USA
This
is the safest traditional exercise wheel you can buy for your Chin. The
large diameter drum prevents spine problems caused by smaller wheels.
There are NO spokes to catch tiny paws and all edges are smooth &
rounded. This wheel is 100% steel with a heavy-duty bearing mechanism
which will last forever. Unlike other Chin wheels, there is NO wood,
plastic or other chewable materials used on this wheel.
NOTE:
You need an area 17 inches wide and 17 inches high on the inside of the
cage to mount the wheel. Although this may seem like a lot, if your
cage is too small to mount this wheel, then the cage is too small for a
Chinchilla.
The
wheel fastens directly to the side of the cage with four nuts that can
be tightened by hand. Will mount on any cage with a screen mesh of less
than 1 inch. Can be bars, square or rectangle mesh. Mount on the side
or back of your cage.
Notice: This wheel is not
appropriate for mice, hamsters, gerbils. They are too small to operate
it. It is intended for and has been successfully tested with adult
Chinchillas (mine!). LARGE Rats and LARGE Hedgehogs should be able to
use it, however I cannot guarantee that they can. Please consider
carefully before ordering.
This
wheel does make noise while in use. It is not a 'silent' wheel &
you will know when your pet is using it. A fair compromise to make
considering how dangerous and flimsy the cheapie plastic wheels can be.
If
you purchase a plastic wheel or a wheel with a mesh surface or spokes,
you are seriously putting your pet at risk. Have you considered what
will happen if he gets his little paw or toe stuck in a wheel that is
moving fast? Most veterinarians will not be able to help in a situation
like that.
