Troubleshooting
Wheel is noisy
Ensure the wheel is correctly and securely mounted. Check for any debris caught in the wheel's mechanism and clean if necessary. Verify that no parts are loose.
Pet is not using the wheel

Wheel appears wobbly
Re-secure the mounting mechanism to the cage. Ensure the surface it is attached to is stable and not contributing to instability.
