How much is the shipping?

[enola69]

about the same price as the wheel

That does work out quite expensive then - especially if he doesn't like that one either.

well i have 10 hogs so one of them WILL like it (hopefully)

you also have to take into acount the noise factor when buying a wheel , if its noisey you might as well put £16.99 in the bin , the problem with most wheels is the metal stand that seams to be the standard of most wheels , once they get going they bounce and vibrate on the floor of the cage / viv . the cake wheel has a very large plastic base to combat this and is trully silant . also the durability , the savic ones i find really poor as the plastic is very britttle , and lasts nowhere near as long as the silant spinners , the cake wheels are supposed to outlast the silant spinners by a lot . so over time i would say it is probably cheeper or at least the same price for the cakewheel , or the double walled bucket wheels you can get via e-bay u.s. there is also the added benifit of the nonstick surface of the cake and bucket wheels that simply wipe clean each day , rarther than having to wash them out . the flying saucers i find very quite but i do have concerns over the curviture of the hogs back over prolonged periods of time .

the wheel is the single peice of equiptment that you want to get right , and the most used item in a hog cage . ive yet to find one iam really happy with , but have some cakewalks on order to try out .

one thing to remember on the cakewalks though it they req a larger height than most wheels , off the top of my head i think it is 15-16" ,so something to bare in mind if ordering .
