Which exercise wheel is suitable for my rodent?

In principle, it doesn't matter which type of running 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 notorious "rodents" among our furry friends: gerbils, chinchillas and degus. These little rascals can completely destroy a wooden exercise wheel within two weeks if they want to. Although the size of the exercise 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 material running wheel should I choose?

And what about plastic? Plastic is a different story. Most rodents have no interest in chewing on plastic, but if they do, they can chew through a plastic exercise wheel. Since not all "rodents" 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 advise against it.

So, hop on the wheel, my furry friends, and order your gnawingly awesome running wheel from DRD Rodent Shop® today! Time to go round, round, round!

What are the benefits of an exercise wheel for rodents?

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

Regular use of an exercise wheel allows rodents to burn off energy, strengthen their muscles and maintain their fitness. It also helps to reduce boredom and stress, which can lead to healthier and happier behaviour in your rodent.

How do you choose the best exercise wheel?

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

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

Some rodents, such as hamsters, are nocturnal and are most active during the evening and night. If you have a nocturnal rodent, it is important to choose a wheel that is quiet and silent so that it does not disturb your sleep.

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