In addition, a certain tempo while running to achieve what my hamster was great fun. Unfortunately, however, he flew out of the wheel at high speeds frequently. Although it did not seem much, but I always got a big shock when I heard a more or less loud thud from the hamster cage and my animals seconds just lay there.
Moreover, he is a "wheel Pinkler" and as you can see the real drawback of wooden wheel: you simply do not get more clean, the urine attracts properly clean the wood and soaking into similar hot water and soda seemed to me due to the "particle board thickness" of the rear wall is not recommended, as I suspect that the whole wheel would thus forgiven.
Ultimately, the wheel has so so smelly that even the hamster because did not want to clean. If I buy it again, I'd known previously in several layers. "Sabberlack" (paint for children's toys, non-toxic) paint, which you can then safely clean better. However, an effort that would be the one or the other like save safely.
Also, I have now a wheel with the same diameter that I could put in the dishwasher and even that is beyond the front so secured that the hamster can not go flying, even at high speeds not. I think all in all, but better and my hamster is also enthusiastic.
That's why I forgive for the Bogie Wheel just three points for a Ansonten beautiful product.
