Where can I buy a safe hamster wheel? 10 points, help!?

Question

My hamster has this kind of wheel, http://www.paperstone.co.uk/News/images/NewsImages/Large/Empty+hamster+wheel_862_18114410_0_0_14424_300.jpg

and when he runs on it, he sticks his head out, luckily he doesnt run fast, and moves his head quik enough..but, thats still not good enough.

I need a safe hamster wheel..

Do they sell any safe hamster wheels at walmart?

[Please dont intend me on going to PetCo, because we dont have a local petco. :(.]

Do they have any at wal-mart..or K-mart or anything?

10 points, help.

Answer 1

Well, Mr Hammy will stick his head out,  but he is smart enough to pull it back in without getting it caught. Personally, I think the wheel you have a picture of is best, it's easiest to keep clean and unlike the plastic wheels, Hammy can't chew on it, which makes the plastic wheels unsafe due to sharp edges as a result of the chewing.

The thing I didn't care about with the metal wheels was the squeaking.  All night long! eek-eek-eek.  I found that a teensy-tiny speck of vaseline helps stop the noise. Not enough for them to l**k off,  just enough to stop the squeak.

Do make sure you keep a wheel of some kind in with Mr Hamm though.  One thing a hamster absolutely MUST have is the running exercize gets from the wheel.  Without that he will die.

Good luck though and have fun with your little pocket pal

Do you have a pets mart nearby instead? If not, you can order it online and have it shipped. I have a hamster wheel from them and I swear by it! It's not only safe but its totally silent! And it won't set you back by very much, its definitely worth its price!

It's called the Super Pet Silent Spinner.

They have some different colors so its kinda fun. I have two wheels, one for each of my hamsters. My one hamster is quite large, she sticks her head out to the side when she runs, she could fit inside, its just what she does. But I can see how this wheel would be a lot safer than your other one.

Good luck!

I have a metal wheel for my rats. It has small holes in it so that p**p goes though. But the holes are small enougth so that the feel do not get cought. They have diffrent sizes, look for one that is small enough for your hampster.

Answer 5

Wal-Mart has good stuff but any pet store is going to have better stuff and more to pick from. Some walmarts though have more then others if there is more then one close to you check them both out. I know I bought a plastic one from Walmart and it kept falling on the hamster and he quit getting in them all together. SO make sure it attaches to the side good and not to hard either.  

Answer 6

Well since you dont have a petco I would say ANY pet shop.

But go to any Wal-Mart and you will find them as well along with pet food in your case hamster food.
