Anyone have good tips or experience on how make degu tree excerice wheel gnaw prof..(at last make it last longer)?
my degus eats through their exerice tree wheels.... one wheel dosnt last longer than 2-3 months...
So i want to try put some metal on the edges.. the issue is how to attach it?
This what i use : Trixie Wooden Exercise Wheel
They dont have many wheel options here in Norway and this is the only one i can buy here..
Buying Online is not possible for me due to high skipping taxes

I think the only way to protect it would be with metal. Some aluminium perhaps up to 0.5mm thick could be cut to shape and glued or attached with minimal dome headed screws. If you can get hold of an extra large aluminium cake tin you might be able to make a better wheel, or perhaps you could find the parts to make a flying saucer. You might be able to reuse the mechanism from the chewed Trixie wheels. Or maybe if you can buy flexi-ply you could find a way to replace the running surface of the Trixie.

I tried to look for cake tins or aluminium that could be used to make a wheel, but none of stores sells such items .cake tins are seasonal and dosnt sell until it's winter..

this is a battle that in 12 years I have never won.... the wheels have been renewed about once every 6 months  |

You should be able to find a 16 inch round cake tin in the UK for under £20, which will keep the tax at your end low  |
