   The quietest wheel we've had. And safe -- no place for little feet or gerbil tails to get stuck. But, we've had two of these and had to replace both within a couple of months because the axle broke.

   I breed and show fancy rats as a hobby and of all the wheels I've tried, this one's my favorite. Lady rats are often very active and will work to 'keep their figures' by running on a wheel regularly. Males are big cuddly slugs and will likely ignore it. Wheels have to be selected carefully though because their long tails are easily injured by the 'normal' rodent wheels at most pet stores -- this brand was designed with this in mind. I have over 35 ratties, mostly girls, and though most of my cages have Wodent Wheels (since they're cheaper) my absolute favorite is the Silent Spinner. It attaches to the side of the cage easily, is EASY to clean, the rats don't chew it (it's really hard), it lasts dang near forever and really is close to being silent (it bumps now and then, but is quieter than others). If you can afford the few extra bucks, this one's the best on the market. [...]

   I've bought 2 of these wheels for my chinchillas. The stand that comes with it is not sturdy enough to support the running weight of a chin or guinea pig - when they get going the wheel falls over scaring them half to death. You can also fasten the wheel to the side of the cage, but I found it hard to tighten the nut enough to keep the wheel from wobbling. AND - both times - the chinchillas were able to chew off the interior fastener and break the wheel within 2 weeks. I ended up getting them a metal wheel which has lasted over a year now.
