## Overview

The Suncoast Sugar Gliders Silent Running Wheel is an 11-inch, whisper-quiet exercise wheel designed for small pets like sugar gliders, hamsters, and gerbils. Its enclosed plastic tunnel with a full tail shield ensures safe, natural running posture while preventing tail injuries. Easy to mount or use freestanding, it promotes healthy activity and mental engagement. Made in the USA from impact-resistant plastic, it offers durable, noiseless performance that fits seamlessly into any small pet habitat.

## Description

The Suncoast Sugar Glider Silent Running Wheel delivers whisper-quiet operation that lets your sugar glider, hamster, or other small pet exercise at any hour without disturbing your household. The enclosed plastic construction naturally dampens noise while creating a tunnel-like environment that many small animals prefer over traditional open wire wheels. This silent running wheel accommodates sugar gliders, dwarf hamsters, Syrian hamsters, gerbils, mice, and small rats with a running surface that promotes natural posture and reduces back strain. Safety is built in with a wall-to-wall plastic tail shield that protects tails from getting caught or pinched in the axle. Installation is simple to secure this running exercise wheel to wire cage walls or ceilings in minutes, plus an included stand works as a freestanding option. The wheel arrives fully assembled, so your pet can start running immediately. Small pets are naturally wired to run significant distances each night, and without this outlet, caged animals often develop unwanted behaviors like bar chewing and weight gain. Manufactured in the USA by Suncoast Sugar Gliders since 1999, this exercise wheel is built from impact-resistant plastic that withstands years of nightly use without cracking or warping. Many people love its durability, easy cleaning, and versatility across wire habitats, horizontal enclosures, and glass tanks, making it ideal for small pet cage accessories and enrichment equipment for hamsters, sugar gliders, mice, rats, gerbils, and other small pet animals.

Review: One of The Best On The Market - I have had this wheel for a couple months now. A little bit longer. It is still good. Spins very nicely. Pros: Wheel is very safe, Almost perfect size for a Syrian hamster if not a little big for one, Spins very nicely even without using cooking oil on the rod where it spins, and it is also very quiet. ( Which is a bit of a shame because I like the noise to fall asleep to and I also just like hearing my hamster run in it )... Last but not least my hamster loves this wheel. Cons: The height of the wheel to the wheel base is a bit short so When setting it up you have to dig the bedding out from underneath the wheel to get it to spin easier which also makes the stability of the wheel worse which we will get into next. Next the stability of the wheel is fine for the most part. If you are putting it ontop of bedding like me then it may be angled differently depending on how flat youve got your bedding. I would always be wary of it toppling over. But on flat ground it is pretty stable and I wouldnt worry about it toppling over. I would still try to wiegh the base down with some heavier bedding just in case. Personally for me I use string and tie it to my wire cage which does alleviate the bottom of the wheel hitting the bedding as much. I never had a problem with it toppling over. Cleaning the cage can be a little bit of a pain because of them using that little metal clip on the rod. You have to get a needle nose pliers or something similar to take that clip off to really clean the wheel. Luckily though its pretty basic on how the things go together just make sure not to lose the tiny metal clip and the plastic pieces which attach the running base together. Overall: This is one of the best wheels that you can get for a Syrian hamster, My hamster loves it, It is a very safe wheel for them as well, It is silent ( to silent for me ), It is hard to find other variations or colors for this wheel off of desertcart, Hard to take it apart without a needle nose pliers for cleaning, and can be difficult to secure to your cage depending on what cage you have. I totally recommend this wheel if you can secure the wheel to the cage ( just to be safe ).. Hamster loves the wheel.. Oh I already said that.
Review: Quiet and sturdy! Great buy. - Our hammy loves it!

## Features

The enclosed plastic construction dampens noise naturally, making this quiet exercise wheel ideal for bedrooms. Your pet gets exercise while you enjoy peaceful nights. The closed design creates a tunnel environment that many small pets prefer over traditional open wire wheels.
- 11-INCH SIZE WITH TAIL SHIELD: This 11-inch hamster wheel is sized specifically for sugar gliders, dwarf hamsters, Syrian hamsters, gerbils, mice, and small rats. The diameter allows a natural running posture, reducing back strain during long sessions. The wall-to-wall plastic shield protects tails from getting caught or pinched during running. The shield provides permanent protection as an essential small pet cage accessory and safety equipment.
- EASY MOUNTING OPTIONS: We include everything needed to attach this running exercise wheel to wire cages. Mount it to the cage walls or ceiling based on your setup. Installation takes minutes, staying secure even during full-speed sprints. This exercise wheel adapts to any cage, tall wire habitats, horizontal enclosures, or glass tanks. The included stand works as a freestanding option. Plus, it arrives fully assembled, so your pet can start running immediately.
- PROMOTES NATURAL EXERCISE: Small pets are hardwired to run in the wild, and without this outlet, caged animals develop unwanted behaviors like bar chewing and weight gain.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this wheel loud? i currently have a cheap kaytee wheel and it makes alot of ruckus in the night...**
A: This is a pretty silent wheel when the axel has been oiled lightly (use a natural hamster safe veggie oil). I found that my female syrian could get it moving and bouncing a little when she was REALLY running. I mounted it to a heavy round piece of wood so it could be weighted down and it never made noise. I had her in the bedroom with me for 2 years and it was silent, until she stored her food and half her bedding in it and then tried to run all night.

**Q: How do you clean it?**
A: You have to remove the hair pin at the front, separate the wheel from the metal stand, and pull the whole thing apart. The front, back, and middle are all separate pieces. I usually clean the middle green part every couple days and wipe the other parts down. The hair pin needs pliers to get off the first time, but it gets easier after that.

**Q: Can it attach to a wire cage?**
A: yes it can be attached with zip-ties from the metal base

**Q: Lost one of the plastic washers with the round bump on it. Does anyone know where I can find replacements?**
A: Contact Lisa at SunCoast Sugar Gliders.  I do carry some spare parts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet and sturdy! Great buy.

Our hammy loves it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Gerbil’s Favorite
*by M***E on May 19, 2019*

In a sticker right on the back it says that this wheel is not recommended for gerbils because they are chewers, and my boys ARE big chewers, but after a month with this wheel they have not chewed it at all! So gerbil owners breathe a sigh of relief! One of my boys LOVES this wheel and will gladly spend 40+ minutes running on it every day even after a long time in the out-of-cage playpen. The other could care less, goes on a 30 second sprint and then leaves it alone for a week. I think how your pet will enjoy this wheel all comes down to personality. It is fairly quiet, but you would definitely hear it if it was in your room at night. My gerbils’ cage is in our basement directly below our room and I never hear the wheel unless I am in the basement with them. It can handle very fast runners, and I know that it is safe on their necks and tails. Overall a great win! It doesn’t come apart though, so if one had a hedgehog or other animal that poops when they run, it would be difficult to clean. Otherwise just running it under water and drying it off whenever it gets dirty (for me once a month-ish) is all it needs.
