Degu Moe Anderson checks to see if his brother Jack is waiting around for his
turn at the wheel.
While not generally recommended for gerbils, Scooter Biondi is an
exception (no upper front teeth). A grand old lady, Scooter enjoys her
wheel in spite of an arthritic rear leg. Run on, Scooter!
Willow, the camera-shy degu, enjoys her wheel on a timeshare basis.
"YIKES! That's the biggest sugar cube I ever did see! No, wait a darn
minute..."
You've seen the photos, now check out Willow and Pumpkin in their first
Feature Film.
Bizie Callis checks out a Wobust wheel that's been modified with larger
holes to accomodate a prairie dog's... errr... muscular, yeah - that's it,
muscular hips.
Jig, Basil, and Levau Cutright check out their wheel...
Levau to Jig: "What the...? Gad, that Basil's hard to keep track
of. But then, after all, we are mice."
Ready?...
Go! Buddy demonstrates that, yes - it is possible for a squirrel to
break the sound barrier without actually going anywhere.
Pit stop.
Prairie dogs Fine and Dandy Sterns in a sharing mood...
...and not.
Prairie dog pups Digger (on the left) and Sunny Sawyer (on the right) check out
their brand new toy.
Zelda Eisenhardt, a beautiful short-tail opossum, enjoys scampering along
in her wheel..
...and gives one of her best winsome looks.
While there're certain, ah... tradeoffs, when combining chinchillas and
Wodent wheels, Amber gets a TON of usage out of hers. (And soon she'll
get those entry holes just right...)
And Raisin gets a place to hang out while his cage is being cleaned.
Poncho Lenz takes a carrot break.
"Whew! It's getting prairie-doggy in there!" (Houston and Peanut often share.)
Fancy mouse Lily Pokorny runs like crazy...
...and sometimes races with Jasmine (Jazz) to see who can get to the end
first!
Mouse Hocus Livingston (of the famous Hocus and Pocus team) trys out his new wheel.
...And does wonderful closeups!
Richardson Ground Squirrel Nutmeg pauses her workout long enough to strike
a pose. Mother Deborah acknowledges that Nutmeg looks mostly like dad, but
insists that she has her eyes.
Willie Blankenship, the brand-new prairie dog, enjoys that "new wheel
smell" from his Woobenesque. Ahhh...
XXX is among the lucky 50% of Leopard Geckos who seem to really love
wheel walking. (The other 50% just don't see the point...)
Feature Film.
Little Gray, a gerbil, got her Wodent Wheel after she lost her left
eye in a freak accident and couldn't use her wire wheel without
falling out. Unfortunately, she's found additional ways to enjoy it...
Anyway, Little Gray, Big Sister and Wobbles all say three paws WAY, WAY UP!
While generally not known for wheel-running, guinea pig Pippin Hoye finds
that wheels also make perfectly fine hideouts. Plus, there's food close
by.
Degus Nipper and Chipper Sapp actually seem more interested in running
side-by-side than in chewing. It can happen.
This sad situation is what happens when a negligent gerbil-mom forgets to teach
her kids basic wheel-destroying skills. Their new foster-mom says, "We've obviously
got a lot of catching-up to do, but I'm confident it's only a matter of time..."
(Yes, that is a coconut.)
Raydar, a snow corn snake, loves to climb her new trellis...
...but there's probably no rush to get a Wodometer.
Coco the squirrel stays in her wheel a lot, but she'll come out for a treat. (Or if
she even THINKS Mom has a treat for her.)
Coco chilling out in her favorite place.
The Lafond triplets are three young, bushy-tailed jirds.
Kiri is part of a duprasi pair. Rather chubby, short legged, and no
climbing skills to speak of - but they do like digging and wheel running.
(And, of course, are very cute.)
Running style seems to consist of alternating bursts of speed
followed by rocking back-and-forth.
Swiss degus, Flash, Bob, Sugus and Arthur are very well behaved and
haven't even destroyed their wheels (yet). And why risk messing up their
excellent castle?
