what kind of wheel do you recommend for a hedgehog???

I don't have a hedgehog but this wheel is large and their feet won't get caught. I think it would work. Petsmart has a similar wheel you could try.(size wise). Good luck!

I do not recommend the silent spinner at all. It only lasted about a month before the clips that hold the two parts of the wheel together broke. This creates little holes where the hedgehog could get its feet stuck. This wheel did not work for me and I did a lot of research. Also, if your hedgehog poops in its wheel like mine does, it is impossible to get it off of this one. (because of the ridges). I do recommend getting a Carolina Storm Wheel. My hedgehog loves hers. It is easy to clean just be careful not to get the bolts wet or they will start to squeak. (I had to buy a new one when this happened, but when you buy one, it comes with extra bearings). It is a little expensive $20+$10 shipping (depending on where you live) but you will not regret it. Carolinastormhedgehogs.com check them out I am glad I found them.

A plastic wheel, or a solid wheel of some sort. Do not get a wire wheel! Their claws will get stuck which will result in an awful situation. Lol. A large, solid silent spinner is perfect because they're up late at night! :)

Depends on how big you think it's gonna get, but I have a friend with a hedgehog who has a wheel about this size. It's just that he's relatively small by hedgehog standards.

My opinion would be this is mainly for a pet. I bought the item for my hedgehog. It is too small for a child. I think. I hope that Helps

Norton has a New wheel for HHS. I bought this wheel when it first came out and it could be a little bit finer grit but it has worked well with good wear. The diamond wheels are best but close to $300.

Unless the hedgehog is the size of an albino mouse, then no. The tubes are way too narrow for even a standard sized hamster. I would doubt that any cage specified for a hamster of any size would be too small. You may be better off getting a cage meant for a guinea pig or rabbit, since hedgehogs do tend to continue growing. There are links to make your own cages(which we did for our guinea pigs)on Google. www.guineapigcages.com/howto.htm is the site we used to make our cages. Total cost would run you about $40 and that is for the 4ftx2ft.

It depends on what you want out of your wheel, if you want the best grip possible you're gonna want a softer wheel and probably wider, if you want to learn how to slide and have medium grip you'll want harder wheels with rounded edges, kinda pike the ones that came with the board

Depends in the size of your hedgehog. My little guy ended up gaining more weight & couldn't fit the small. But if your hedgie is full grown & still looks small, I'd say go for it.

Yes. I have a Californian rabbit that this works well with, so it will definitely work with a hedgehog.

we had a hedgehog (pigmey) a few years ago. yes I believe it would work, make sure you get them a big wheel for exercise.

I guess I'm going to see bicycle shops for wheels since the manufacturer doesn't carry them on-line. Call/email PET GEAR for suggestions.

My guess would be that the small would not fit a hedgehog. They make larger sizes. I would call your local pet store and see what size they recommend.

I never thought I would ever be asked that question. I don't know much about hedgehogs. If he/she isn't much of a climber/escape artist it might work. I have a Syrian hamster and she loves to escape the playpen. I think it is meant for the smaller hamsters. I still really like it. I actually bought two to make it a little bigger.

Here are the castors we purchased for ours - come in set of 5 for $20.99 and we are very happy with them.http://www.rockler.com/slipstick-rubber-caster-wheels-pack-of-5

We have wood floors, but my little is stopped by the wheels every time he gets to an area rug or carpeted rooms. Maybe you could find something with more versatile wheels?

I would recommend swapping the wheels out with a more "professional" brand. Personally I swapped these generic wheels out with Orangutan 4 presidents. Swapping the wheels out for a more softer wheel should allow you to glide over bumps. Overall these trucks haven't failed me. They are loose but not too loose. They can also handle hills very well.

As long as they aren't chewers it should be fine. I'm not sure if Hedgehogs need a level environment and if they are able to go up and down ramps.

This is a good cage for a robo hamster, and the wheel is also good. If you get add-on tubes for it, be sure to get the ones for dwarf-size hamsters.

some syrian hamsters are small and some are very big and long. this wheel can fit a small syrian hamster. the best thing i can recommend is to take your syrian hamster to the nearest pet store and see which wheel is most compatible. you may end up getting a traditional wheel for your syrian hamster. petland discounts carries habitrail products, not crittertrail products. petco and petsmart carry crittertrail products, not habitrail products. most of petland discounts' hamster wheels come out of of the package so you can compare their size with your syrian hamster's size. habitrail products are available at petland discounts and they have excellent wheels for syrian hamsters! if you live nearest a petco or petsmart and if they have this crittertrail hamster wheel, i suggest you ask the store employee if you can open the box and see if the wheel fits your hamster. good luck!
