Getzoo Cork Insert for Plastic Running Wheel 27 cm

Getzoo Cork Insert for Plastic Running Wheel 27 cm – replaceable cork strip for extra grip and ease of maintenance

The Getzoo Cork Insert is a replaceable cork strip for the 27 cm Getzoo plastic exercise wheel. The insert consists of cork on a flexible plastic strip, allowing you to remove it from the wheel as a whole. This is handy when the cork layer is worn out, has become dirty, or when you would like to have an extra insert on hand during cleaning.

At DRD, when it comes to exercise wheels, we look not only at the right diameter but also at grip, maintenance, and practical daily use. A cork layer provides a more pleasant running surface than smooth plastic and helps make the wheel quieter and more comfortable. This insert is therefore particularly useful for owners who want to continue using their Getzoo plastic exercise wheel properly without immediately replacing the entire wheel.

Advantages of the Getzoo Cork Insert

✔ Replaceable cork layer for the Getzoo plastic running wheel
✔ Provides more grip than a smooth walking surface
✔ Removable and therefore practical for cleaning
✔ Handy as a spare insert during intensive use
✔ Specially made for the 27 cm plastic Getzoo exercise wheel

Why choose a separate cork insert?

A running wheel is often used daily. Especially with hamsters, dwarf hamsters, and mice, the running surface can become dirty or worn over time. With a separate cork insert, you can replace the running surface without having to buy a new running wheel immediately.

The insert is also handy when you want to be able to switch more quickly during cleaning. You remove the used insert from the wheel, clean it, and let it dry thoroughly. With an extra insert, you can continue using the wheel in the meantime.

The cork layer provides a more pleasant surface with more grip. As a result, this component pairs well with the Getzoo synthetic exercise wheel with cork inlay, especially when you want to combine ease of maintenance with a highly usable running surface.

For which exercise wheels is this insert suitable?

This cork insert is suitable for the 27 cm Getzoo plastic exercise wheel. It is therefore a spare part for that specific type of exercise wheel.

The insert is not intended as a suitable replacement for the wooden Getzoo running wheels. For wooden running wheels, it is preferable to use a cork inlay designed for that purpose. Also, do not attempt to pull the cork off the plastic strip, as the strip is part of the fit and functionality.

For which animals is a cork insert useful?

• Mouse: handy when using a matching Getzoo plastic running wheel and want to replace or clean the cork layer.
• Dwarf hamster: very practical for intensive use of the exercise wheel. An extra insert makes changing and drying easier.
• Hamster: suitable when your hamster uses the 27 cm Getzoo plastic running wheel. Check regularly for wear and replace the cork when necessary.

For gerbils, dwarf rats, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, suitability does not depend on this insert, but on the running wheel itself. Always choose a running wheel that suits the animal in terms of diameter, width, and stability first.

Clean & replace

Remove the cork insert from the wheel as a whole. Clean it with warm water and a soft brush, such as a toothbrush. Allow the insert to dry completely before replacing it.

Do not use harsh cleaning agents on the cork layer. Cork is a natural material and remains in best condition when cleaned gently and allowed to dry thoroughly. Is the cork damaged, heavily soiled, or clearly worn? Then replacement is the best choice.

An extra insert is handy when you want to use the running wheel again quickly while the cleaned insert is still drying.

Placement & use

Place the insert in the designated 27 cm Getzoo plastic exercise wheel. After insertion, check that the strip fits snugly and lies flat in the wheel. The running surface must be smooth and even so that your animal can run comfortably.

Regularly check the running wheel and the insert for wear, gnawing marks, loose edges, or dirt. Replace the insert when it no longer fits properly or when the cork layer is clearly damaged.
