Running wheel Trixie TRIXIE 61035 for hamsters and mice, wooden, Ø 200 mm

Trixie TRIXIE 61035 running wheel is a wooden exercise wheel designed for hamsters and mice with a diameter of 200 mm. The wheel provides a stable rotating surface that encourages natural locomotor activity and supports daily exercise inside a cage. Constructed from wood, the wheel aims to offer a quiet and solid option for small rodents that need regular physical stimulation and behavioural enrichment.

Advantages

The wooden construction delivers a firm running surface with reduced noise compared to some metal wheels and helps avoid excessive vibration in a typical small pet habitat. With a 200 mm diameter and appropriate width, the wheel fits the body size of many dwarf and Syrian hamsters as well as mice, allowing a natural running posture. The design is suitable for mounting in various cage types and is simple to integrate into an existing enclosure for everyday use.

• Hamsters (dwarf and standard-sized depending on individual fit)
• Pet mice
• Small rodent enclosures where additional exercise is required

How to use

Install the running wheel according to the cage type, ensuring it is securely mounted to prevent wobble or detachment during use. Position the wheel at a height and orientation that allows the animal to enter and exit safely; check that the running surface is unobstructed and that the wheel rotates smoothly. Regularly inspect the wheel for splinters, wear or loose fittings and replace or repair as needed to maintain a safe environment.

Usage recommendations

Introduce the wheel gradually and monitor your pet during initial use to confirm correct fit and comfortable running posture. Clean the wooden surface with a dry brush or a slightly damp cloth; avoid soaking wood. Provide additional enrichment and supervision for very young, elderly or injured animals to ensure the running wheel remains appropriate for their condition.
