Wooden Cork Exercise Wheel for Rodents!

Getzoo Wooden Cork Exercise Wheel for Rodents!

Discover Getzoo's cork exercise wheel! The walking surface is covered with cork and is therefore particularly soft for the sensitive paws of small rodents. The running wheel has a completely closed structure, i.e. the running surface is closed, but so is the back, making pigtails safe! A nice bonus in addition to the superior quality is that the running wheel is height-adjustable, which allows you to use the running wheel much more flexibly.

✔ Natural: only high-quality wood is used for the cork exercise wheels, we do not use glues that could be harmful to the animal, nor do we use softwood
✔ Flexible: place the running wheel where it fits best, because the wheel fits anywhere thanks to a height-adjustable stand
✔ Stable: regardless of the surface, the exercise wheel is stable and safe thanks to the particularly wide base
X Not gnawing resistant for real rodents (Gerbil, Chinchilla, Degu)

How quiet is this exercise wheel?

We always measure the volume at a distance of at least one meter from the wheel. Once the rodent sets the wheel in motion, all you can hear from this distance is the animal walking. The cork wheels are slightly quieter because the cork layer serves as natural insulation.

Is this exercise wheel suitable for "exercise wheel peepers"?

Absolute! However, there is something to think about. We use the natural raw material wood or cork as a tread for our wheels and the wooden wheel has already been pre-treated by us with a clear varnish, which means that the ordinary wooden wheel can be wiped with a damp cloth. We use a clear coat that complies with DIN 71-3 and is harmless to rodents. If you suffer a lot from wheel ruts, we recommend treating the wooden and cork wheels with at least 3-4 layers of clear varnish DIN 71-3 and, if necessary, painting after wiping the treads. This way you can enjoy the exercise wheel for a particularly long time. And your hamster too!

Is it dangerous if my rodent starts gnawing on the exercise wheel?

Absolutely not! We only use types of wood that can be nibbled on without hesitation. No nails, staples or the like are used and only non-toxic wood glue is used to glue the wheels. So you don't have to worry if your rodent gets attracted to an exercise wheel!

What is the difference between a cork running wheel and a wooden running wheel without cork?

The tread of the cork running wheel is covered with cork, which effectively muffles the running sounds of rodents and is gentler on the feet.

Clean the running wheel

The exercise wheel should be wiped regularly with a slightly damp cloth, especially if the animals urinate in it.
