for my hamsters, they each need their own because they use them so much and if i only keep one in the cage the dominant one hogs it.

My Degus seem to like to run together in their 12" wheel. I wouldn't think you would need two wheels.

Totally agree with Ra, my boys love to race each other and occasionally run in opposite directions....now that is fun to watch!!!!!

hilarity ensues when all 4 of my degus decide they want to use the wheel at the same time. they end up just sitting and looking at each other, confused. XD

Back when I had just the two degus, I had only one wheel until it got to the point where being sisters, they couldn't share.  So I had to run out and buy another wheel for them. Now with the colony, 3 adults, 3 youths and 5 babies share one wheel (for now) and 3 youths and one adult share a wheel in the other cage. It seems to be going well because they tend to share better and sometimes they also do "tandem" jogging. |

I have 4 degus, and they loved their wheel (died of over use just before we moved!) I have photos of all 4 running in it together. two running in front, two half behind, half above. Now when they got going on that.... it went sodding fast!!! But never any arguments about it.

Hey Meg, maybe you should attach a generator to the wheel, you could probably power half the house off of it....

Our two girls love to run at the same time -- It's so funny to watch one try to jump on when the wheel is going full speed. Then they fight over who gets to be on the inside -- I guess they've figured that the one on the outside edge will sometimes get thrown off!

haha, yeah, spaz took awhile to adjust to the wheel... i would hear it going slowly, then pick up speed, then a squeak and a crash as spaz flew off and tumbled down the ramp to the lower level. he finally got the hang of it, though. ^__^
