Silent with modification, durable
I've had both a comfort wheel and a silent spinner for my hedgehog. The comfort wheel, with a scrunchie tied around the back, is quieter than the silent spinner. The silent spinner broke only a few months after we got it, but the comfort wheel has lasted almost two years before it got to the point of replacing. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
In the end, don't recommend
I love giving my chin the exercise he needs. And he loves running on this wheel. It Is loud~ so I oil it regularly with natural, non-food oil.. but that's not the reason I wouldn't recommend this product.
The design is such that the little flange that holds the wheel to the base (the pokey part) is so small, & it's plastic, that when it gets chewed on, it no longer holds the wheel to the base, and it falls off.
This is my second wheel~ and it's lasted a grand total of 2 weeks. At $17 a pop at Petsmart, there's no way I'm buying another one.
The people at Petsmart told me they have the same problem, so they took the wheels out of all their chinchilla cages. =( poor babies. No exercise b/c of poor design.
I will look into other products.
Wheel review
These wheels start out "whisper silent" just as claimed, but as time goes on, the plastic axle wears down, making the wheel loose. Loose wheels = LOTS OF NOISE! I have experimented with tons of wheels over the years, and nothing tops the Wodent Wheel.
