I found it freaky as no-one told me he'd bend his body this way and that - he looked all deformed and deflated and very odd!!!

The flying saucer is NOT recommended though as it causes them to have to cross thier feet to run on it. You would be better off with a comfort wheel, Silent Spinner, or bucket wheel.

Dunno if that's of any help.

Ummmm thanks for that. Might try a wheel and see how Hector gets on with it, have to say he does love his satelite dish though.

Does anyone know if there have been any long term problems with hips, legs or backs etc?

Thanks again
