It comes with a cage attachment and is made for sugar gliders, larger hamsters and other small animals of similar size. The wheel turns on two stainless steel ball-bearings set into its back plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCleaning and disassembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Silent Runner wheel comes apart completely when you need to clean it deeply. Each part separates, which lets you reach the track and the back plate rather than wiping around a fixed frame. The open design also leaves no nooks where feces can collect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExotic Nutrition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilent Runner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\" Regular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded Components\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheel + Cage Attachment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the axle-free wheel is built\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe track runs without a centre bar, so nothing crosses the middle of the wheel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo stainless steel ball-bearings sit in the back plate and carry the spin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ball-bearings rotate around the bolt as the animal runs, while a centre-axle wheel builds friction and noise at the hub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wheel separates into its parts for deep cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeces has nowhere to gather in the build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer states that the design is intended to reduce the risk of fur and tail entanglement, of an animal wrapping around the wheel, and of spinal curvature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to check before buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer does not suggest this wheel for chewers, so check how your pet treats cage fittings before you mount it.
