Do Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters Need an Exercise Wheel?

A hamster or dwarf hamster needs a running wheel. Research has even shown that the animals become much happier and stay healthier. Hamsters are naturally active animals and like to get rid of their energy. If they have too little space or too little to do in the cage, they can start to show neurotic behavior or problem behavior such as biting or gnawing on bars.

Which size exercise wheel is suitable for which hamster species?

Different hamster species require different exercise wheels. A wheel that is good for one hamster may be too small or too big for another. Below we have listed the different hamster species and the size of exercise wheel they need for your convenience.

• Russian Dwarf Hamster: 20 cm

What is the best material for a hamster wheel?

Wood, Metal, Plastic? For the hamster it often doesn't matter what material the wheel is made of, he is happy to be able to run! A nice side effect of a wooden wheel is that the nails wear better than in a metal or plastic wheel.

How do you clean wooden running wheels?

It used to be a challenge to clean a wooden exercise wheel, but fortunately that is a thing of the past. Nowadays, there are two types of cleaning products that can be used to easily clean wooden exercise wheels. The first product is CSI Urine Spray and the second is Eco Pets Urine Buster. Both cleaning products work on an enzyme basis and tackle the bacteria that are in urine. These bacteria are responsible for the well-known urine smell. Both sprays remove the bacteria and dirt so that the exercise wheel is fresh and clean again.

Can you wash a hamster or dwarf hamster's running wheel in water?

For all running wheels it is not good 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 and can therefore start to squeak and run stiffer.

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. Getting the running wheel wet can cause the glue to come loose.

What to do when a hamster's or dwarf hamster's 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.
