How to Put a Wodent Wheel Together

Hamsters like to run on Wodent Wheels.

Sitting in a cage all day can get a bit boring, not to mention the fat you gain by laying around with no exercise. That's why your small rodent could make good use out of a Wodent Wheel, which gets them exercise and keeps them occupied. By running around in a continuous pattern, your pet can burn calories and stay occupied. When they stop running and the wheel continues to spin, they can get quite the ride before they come crashing down on their backs. You will first need to do your pet a favor and assemble the rodent wheel inside the cage.

Things You'll Need

• Nylon cable ties
• Clear suction cup
• Black zip ties

Instructions

1. Use nylon cable ties to hang the Wodent Wheel from the top of the cage. Your pet will have more floor space this way.

2. Remove the hitch pin in the middle of the Wodent Wheel. Thread the Wodent Wheel's base through the cage bars. Connect the wheel to your base with as many black zip ties as you need.

3. Remove the hook that came with your suction cup. Press the suction cup loop on your Woodent Wheel stand, close to the location where the stand's back enters the wheel. Press the cup against the aquarium glass. Your Wodent Wheel is now suspended in the corner of your cage.

Tips & Warnings

• If you lose the hitch pin, you can use a paper clip or other small wire. The hitch pin enters the axle that holds the Wodent Wheel in place. It looks like a hairpin.

• Suction cups can be purchased from a dollar store or online.

• According to Transoniq ,you shouldn't purchase a Wodent Wheel for degus, gerbils or chinchillas. They like to chew on the wheel, and eating a wheel isn't good for the pet's organs.
