I want to get a wheel for Joe and Olly, I want a wheel they can go on together but I also want a smaller version for a Syrian so they can all be the same I also was wondering as a bonus even a smaller one for a mouse or a dwarf hamster? Thanks ;p

in a short space of time squeaker has gone through 2 rolly wheels, she has a fetish for the axles so now she has a wooden one that she's had a very go at, r n r have one of those silent spinning ones, they look funky but i'm keeping my eye out for some other the metal ones i've seen around especially when i get/build a bigger cage.

My boys and little ladies all run on their silent splinners together. You can get them in smaller sizes too

We got a John Hopewell wheel when the pets at home one broke (about 3 months after we got our goos). It's big enough for two goos to run on although all three try to run on ours and then they wonder why it hardly moves!
It wasn't cheap but I've had it nearly two years now and haven't had a problem with it.

my goos had a flying saucer when they were young before I got a metal wheel sorted, they loved it, but I had to confiscate it because they started chewing it more seriously. I've since given it to them at playtime and they just looked at it like they'd never seen it before and then started chewing it!
My dwarf hamsters used to love the smaller flying saucers!
On the original question, I don't think you'll find the same make of wheel in 3 suitable sizes for dwarf ham, syrian ham and degu, because the sizes are pretty close together. Comfort and Wodent wheels are a good size for a syrian, the middle silent spinner is a good size for a dwarf hamster (the smallest S Spinner is only really suitable for a small roborovski). And we all know how hard it is to find a good degu wheel!

We've had these wheels, or wheels very like them, for over three years now, and our boys have no sign of bumble foot. Although they do spend a fair amount of time in the wheels, they don't completely live there. I personally think you will be fine with that wheel.

The wooden wonderland wheels from zooplus come in three different sizes. The big one is good for degus and I have the smallest one for my roborovskis. However i'm changing it soon as unfortunately it is not wide enough for both my robos to run together.

Do the wonderland wheels move around the cage a lot? I'm going to have to replace mine with something a little more sturdy as the plastic one I've got at the min keeps travelling all over the cage! My goo's must be to enthusiastic!

I think most wheels move around a lot unless they are screwed or attached to the cage.

My goo's must be to enthusiastic! When I had this type of wheel I just used a bit of jute string to tie it to the cage. You could also use some curtain wire and hooks. The white plastic outer strips off very easily. Kat x
