What is the best exercise wheel material for rats?
Wood, Metal, Plastic? For the Rat it often does not matter much what material the exercise wheel is made of; he's happy he can run! A nice side effect of a wooden running wheel is that the nails wear better than in a metal or plastic running wheel.
How should you clean wooden exercise wheels for rats?
It was always a challenge to clean a wooden running wheel, but fortunately that is a thing of the past. Nowadays there are two types of cleaning products that can be used to easily clean wooden running wheels. The first product is CSI Urine Spray and the second is the Eco Pets Urine Buster. Both cleaning products work on an enzyme basis and tackle the bacteria in urine. These bacteria provide the well-known urine smell. Both sprays remove bacteria and dirt so that the running wheel is fresh and clean again.
Can you clean Rat Exercise Wheels with water?
It is not good to rinse all running wheels under the tap. It is very important that the rotating mechanism (ball bearing) does not get wet. The more often the rotating mechanism is flushed, the stiffer it becomes. This can cause it to squeak more quickly and become stiffer.
We do not recommend washing wooden running wheels with water. Wiping with a damp cloth is no problem, but it is not good for the running wheels to get them completely wet. Wetting the running wheel can cause the glue to loosen.
What should you do if the Rat exercise wheel beeps?
An exercise wheel can make more noise over time. For a squeaky running wheel, we recommend a drop of olive oil. This can be mounted on the turning mechanism.
