Wooden Running Wheel with Cork

Wooden Running Wheel with Cork

The Hugro Wooden Exercise 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 make more effort to get it around. One hamster has more perseverance for this than the other, for that reason we cannot guarantee that all hamsters can get this running wheel around.

The running surface of these running wheels consists of loose pieces of wood that are glued together. So there are gaps between the woods. The woods also naturally contain eyes as they occur in wood. The running wheel has a rough finish.
