We've put together some galleries of shots of various lil' critters running on our wheels. It's also a good place to get a better idea of the size of the wheels and just what they look like.













Odds & Ends









And now something for the really obsessive...



Wodent Wheels!
[Wheel in action.]

“Friends don't let friends run in unsafe wheels.”

Transoniq offers three exercise wheels, Wodent Wheels(TM), for small critters. Wodent Wheels feature a unique design with a safe solid running surface and a support stand without dangerous pinch areas. Available in three sizes: 8-inch diameter, 11-inch diameter, and 12-inch diameter (extra wide).

The only exercise wheel recommended and approved by the ASPCA
during their Seal of Approval program (1999-2006).


Rodents are attracted to the wheel's entry holes, hamsters avoid broken legs and strangulations, and sugar gliders go absolutely nuts on these wheels. Even rats love running since they don't get their feet hurt and their tails whacked by unsafe axle supports. (Give ratties lots of time — they're very cautious!) The semi-enclosed design and the solid rear wall also makes rodents, who are natural “wall-huggers,” feel much safer as they run.

“It's like running inside your walls — not that I'd ever do that.” — Anonymous

Wodent Wheels are easily disassembled for cleaning and are constructed of tough, safe plastic with a stable base of heavy-gauge painted (baked-on powder coated) steel. Wodent Wheels are low cost, much safer and quieter than conventional wire exercise wheels, and have a clean, simple design using recycled and recyclable plastics. If they aren't being attacked by chewers, with a little care Wodent Wheels will last for years.

Wodent Wheels are not recommended for gerbils, chinchillas and most degus due to chewing problems. Not all are chewers and your mileage may vary — but you've been warned! If you decide safety is paramount and you'll live with the chewing, we do sell replacement front panels.

(And, as far as we know, the only exercise wheel ever used as a wedding present — twice!)
