Description
Hamster wheels allow hamsters to cover the miles and miles of distance they would in the wild, within the confined space of a cage. Despite most cages having a small surface area, a hamster can still release all the energy it needs using an exercise wheel.
Hamsters have an instinct to run and the exercise wheel is the best way to fulfil this natural behaviour. Wheels also help reduce boredom as this can often become a problem for hamsters that are kept in a cage with few toys or opportunities for exercise. Just like us, it’s important for a hamsters to burn some calories now and again to maintain a healthy weight.
