What is the best exercise wheel material for Gerbils?
Gerbils are real rodents as we know, they will like to gnaw on parts of their enclosure. To prevent this we always recommend sufficient gnawing material, but unfortunately it is not possible to prevent it completely with these little rascals. To set up the enclosure as safely as possible For the Gerbils it is of course important that the running wheel is also safe. We believe that a plastic running wheel is not safe for Gerbils. The animals can gnaw on a plastic running wheel and hurt themselves on possible splinters. Wooden running wheels are preferred for Gerbils. The animals can nibble on it a little if they want without it doing any harm. A wooden exercise wheel will have to be replaced regularly, if we prefer not to do this then a metal exercise wheel can be recommended, for example an aluminum exercise wheel . These will last a lifetime long lasting, safe and 100% gnaw-proof!
Which exercise wheels are unsafe for Gerbils?
It is important to keep in mind that Gerbils are social animals. Although they may not all fit in an exercise wheel at the same time, they will try. It is therefore important that exercise wheels for Gerbils are completely open at the front. An exercise wheel with a bar at the front or a partition in front can cause serious injuries if they come to an animal. This can happen if one animal runs in the wheel and another animal wants to join in. Fortunately, we do not have such wheels for Gerbils. All the exercise wheels listed in this category are safe for Gerbils.
How to Clean a Wooden Gerbil Exercise Wheel?

Can you wash Gerbil exercise wheels in water?
No! It is not good for all running wheels to rinse them completely under the tap. It is very important that the turning mechanism (ball bearing) does not get wet. The more often the turning mechanism is rinsed, the stiffer it becomes. This can it will start to squeak sooner and run more smoothly.
We do not recommend washing wooden running wheels with water. Wiping them with a damp cloth is no problem, but it is not good for the running wheels to get them completely wet. Wetting the running wheel can cause the glue to come loose.
What to do when a running wheel squeaks?
A running wheel can make more noise over time. For a squeaky running wheel, we recommend a drop of olive oil. This can be applied to the turning mechanism.
