Wooden Running Wheel with Cork

Wooden Running Wheel with Cork

The Hugro Wooden Running Wheel is made of high-quality wood and gives small rodents the opportunity to lose their energy. The tread is covered with cork. Wooden running wheels generally turn more heavily than plastic running wheels. Animals that are used to a plastic running wheel sometimes have to get used to a wooden running wheel because they have to put in more effort to get it around. Some hamsters have more perseverance for this than others, for that reason we cannot guarantee that all hamsters can get around this running wheel.
