Which exercise wheel is suitable for my rodent?

In principle, it does not matter much which type of exercise wheel you choose, as long as you use the correct dimensions.

However, we do make a distinction, because we believe that not all materials are suitable for all rodents. For example, let's talk about the infamous "gnawers" among our furry friends: gerbils, chinchillas and degus. These little rascals can completely demolish a wooden exercise wheel within two weeks if they want to. Although the size of the running wheel is suitable, the material is less suitable. If your rodent is a real rodent and likes to gnaw on wood, choose a different material exercise wheel.

Which exercise wheel material should I choose?

And what about plastic? Plastic is a different story. Most rodents have no interest in gnawing on plastic, but if they do nibble on it, they can chew up a plastic exercise wheel. Since not all "gnawers" are fond of plastic, it is up to the owners to judge whether a plastic exercise wheel is a good idea or not. As a precaution, we would rather advise against it.

So, hop on the wheel, my furry friends, and order your gnawing-tastic exercise wheel from DRD Knaagdierwinkel® today! Time to spin, spin, spin!

What are the benefits of an exercise wheel for rodents?

Exercise wheels are not only a fun addition to your rodent's enclosure, but they also have several benefits for their well-being. Rodents are naturally active animals that like to run and move. An exercise wheel offers them the opportunity to fulfill this natural need, even if they are kept in a cage or enclosure.

By regularly using an exercise wheel, rodents can burn off energy, strengthen their muscles and maintain their condition. It also helps reduce boredom and stress, which can lead to healthier and happier behavior in your rodent.

How do you choose the best exercise wheel?

When choosing an exercise wheel, it is important to take the size of your rodent into account. An exercise wheel that is too small can lead to discomfort, back problems and even injuries. Make sure the exercise wheel is large enough so that your rodent can run comfortably without bending its back.

In addition, the safety of the running wheel is essential. Choose a wheel with a closed running surface and avoid running wheels with bars or open structures where your rodent can get stuck or hurt.

Some rodents, such as hamsters, are nocturnal and are most active during the evening and night. If you have a rodent that is active at night, it is important to choose an exercise wheel that is quiet and low-noise so that it does not disrupt your sleep.

At DRD Knaagdierwinkel® we understand the needs of rodents and offer a wide range of exercise wheels that meet all these aspects. Whether you're looking for an exercise wheel for your little mouse friend or your energetic rat, we have the right options available for you.
