I am in need of another excersise wheel. I bought one but he wont use it, and the one that comes with the cage bangs and shakes and keeps me up all night. Some nights I have to disconnect it to get to sleep and it makes me feel guilty because now he can't run on it.
Anyone know a good type of wheel to buy for a glider?
Output,
I use Senior Size Wodent Wheels. Two per cage, one without a Sandy Track Nail Trimmer and one with. They are both mounted, on opposite sides. I love how I do this, as I've been doing it for nearly 3 years now. You can purchase both wheels and the nail track from www.sugar-gliders.com they come in Forest Green and are really pretty wheels. Lisa runs the website and she is incredibly helpful. A lot of people recommend The Stealth Wheel although I have never used them and have little experience with them. :/
If you decide to go with a wodent wheel please get the guard that goes around the middle piece.......................been quite a few tail injuries reported over the years cause it gets sticky, tails get caught.................not a nice picture *shudders* I also did not like that the wodents were so noisy. I have 11 stealths and love them.....................................easy to clean, and stuff heres a pic:
The Stealths look so complex, I don't know, perhaps I should try them. My Wodent Wheels are definitely very noisy. House guests have complained that it sounds like a hurricane at night. To add to it, I have three of them in my bedroom. I couldn't tell you from personal experience what the Stealth Wheel is like, but from what everyone is saying, it's quite the product!
What looks complex about it? you take it out of the box and put it in the cage. Nothing hard about that. You do not disassemble it to clean it, like you must do to properly clean a wodent, the track on a stealth is open, so pee and poop fall through the track rather than stick on it, so it doesn't have to be cleaned as often as a Wodent, and the stealth is VERY quiet. Really, there is no comparison.

Thank you for the description, there seem to just be so many parts and pieces for it. Could you send me a direct link to where I can order it? I am highly considering purchasing three of these guys, can you get a nail trimming track though?
