Running Disc Trixie 60816 for Small Animals (Hamster) – Wooden, Ø 22 cm

Trixie 60816 Running Disc for Small Animals is a wooden exercise wheel with a diameter of 22 cm designed specifically for hamsters and similar small rodents. The wheel combines a natural wood frame with a cork running surface to provide a stable, low-noise platform for daily activity. Its compact size and flat, paw-friendly surface support regular exercise while being suitable for mounting inside most small-animal cages.

Advantages

The cork running surface is gentle on paws and reduces slipping, while the flat design helps maintain a natural spinal alignment during use. A ball-bearing mechanism ensures smooth, quiet motion to minimize disturbance. Constructed from cork and wood, the wheel offers a solid, durable build that integrates well into naturalistic cage environments.

Suitable for

• Hamsters and other small rodents
• Indoor cage placement for daily exercise
• Behavioral enrichment and activity stimulation
• Quiet environments where low-noise accessories are needed

Key specifications

• Material: cork running surface and wooden frame
• Diameter: 22 cm
• Running surface: flat, paw-friendly cork
• Motion mechanism: ball-bearing for smooth and quiet rotation
• Design: solid wooden construction for durability

How to use

Install the running disc securely inside the cage according to the cage layout and available mounting points. Make sure the wheel is fixed at a height that allows the animal to enter and exit comfortably without jumping from excessive heights. Check that the wheel rotates freely on its bearings and that the cork surface is intact before first use. Supervise initial sessions to confirm that the hamster adapts to the disc and can run without twisting or arching its back.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the wheel for wear or damage and replace it if the cork surface becomes worn or the rotation becomes uneven. Clean wooden and cork surfaces with a damp cloth and avoid soaking; allow the product to dry completely before returning it to the cage. Position the wheel to allow sufficient space around it and combine use with other enrichment items to support overall activity and welfare.
