Default Flying Saucer

Finally tracked one down (no shops had any large enough, and dont use ebay) on amazon, so just checking it is the right size etc for an APH

Thanks, Tom.

Thanks

I tried the flying saucer wheel and didnt like it. Sidney was running very unnaturally on it so i just got him a large rat wheel instead. He rarely uses his wheel, but at least he looks a little more normal when he does lol I know the hog folk love the saucers though

nah I dont particularly like them neither - they do look a bit un-natural running on them although I have got one coz the hedgie I recently bought came with one and she doesnt like the upright ones much - lots of people swear by them though! My fav's are the p@h savics but they dont half get noisy after a while so I've kinda plumped for the silent spinners for the majority of my hogs.

I'm not sure they do them bigger coz that wheel is 12" diameter which is the recommended size -any smaller and it wouldnt be appropriate!

Yeah i knew it was the reccomended, but thought people might use bigger.

Ill search for some rat ones then if they are better suited?

Tomcat - wheels are such a personal preference -you go with what you feel is comfortable- any solid plastic wheel of 12" diameter or larger (if you can get them?) is fine
