FAQs
Is this wheel suitable for all hamster breeds?
Yes, the 27 cm size is ideal for most breeds, including Syrians, providing enough room for them to run without arching their backs.
Can I wash this wheel in the dishwasher?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with warm water and mild soap is safer for the materials and ensures the axle mechanism stays lubricated.
Does the wheel come with mounting hardware?
The wheel is designed to attach to most standard wire cage bar spacing; however, always check your specific cage configuration for compatibility.
Is the material safe if my pet chews on it?
While the plastic is durable, it is not chew-proof. If you notice your pet aggressively gnawing on the edges, you should supervise or provide additional wooden chews to redirect the behavior.
Where is this product made?
The SAVIC Orbital Exercise Wheel is proudly manufactured in Belgium.
Troubleshooting
The wheel makes a squeaking noise.
Check the axle for accumulated bedding or debris. Clean the contact points and ensure the wheel is mounted perfectly level.
The wheel moves around the cage floor while in use.
Ensure the base is placed on a flat, level surface. You may need to place a non-slip mat under the base or secure it against the side of the cage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the wheel, determine whether your habitat allows for wall mounting or if the floor-standing base is preferred. When wall-mounting, ensure the wheel is aligned horizontally to prevent uneven wear on the rotating axle.
For care, remove the wheel from the cage weekly for a thorough wipe-down. Use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaners to remove debris from the running track. Avoid submerging the axle mechanism in water for prolonged periods; instead, use a damp cloth to clean the central hub to maintain the silent spinning feature. Inspect the wheel monthly for any signs of chewing, which could create rough edges.
