Before i go totally doolally

How can i stop the dreadful din made by this Rolly wheel, its plastic and much loved by Raindrop and Puddle (Roborovski's)
They use it virtually all night long, well from 11.00pm -8.00am or it feels like that long

As i type they are in tandem in the wheel and stop and stare at me then whizz off again .....the little darlings


Can I 'oil' it with anything?

buy a silent spinner.

BUT we did take ours appart and use vasaline on the plastic and stuck the wheel back on and was ok, had to do it again next day.


day after we was at pets at home!

Olive oil or another vegetable oil would be a temporary solution to the squeaking. It's non-toxic, which is important. You will have to keep reapplying though.

ermmmmmmmmm take it out.or move it to another room.

Thanks for the replies.

I do like the way the wheel fits and doesn't take up extra space that perhaps a separate wheel would. I had looked at those silent spinners and i think it might be the only way to go!

I don't really want to move them to another room, although you can hear it virtually everywhere to varying degrees. As an insomniac, they are entertaining and keep me company whilst everything else is asleep. Husband and Dogs snoring even the ferrets at times. Which is one reason i chose to have these little critters.

I'll try the oil, which will work for tonight hopefully, I only got them on Sunday but it feels like longer, and I'm going to a pet shop a little further out of town tomorrow, which will make a change from PAH!

So i might be able to get a silent one there

ahahaha @ snoring ferrets!!


I wasn't sure which oils were safe to use, so them above will be easier to apply that vaseline

i totally agree with this, we had to use it every couple of nights but now we've grown used to the sound lol

Rest in peace Dásemd,Dimma,Dramatík,Draumur,Dahlia and Von, the memory's of you will last forever !

I have taken out the rolly, and bought a silent spinner, as the darlings are asleep they will have a shock when the encounter the new wheel

But only draw back is the other fit snugly to the back and of course this being free standing takes up more room. I know it says you can fix to the bars, but the Spelos has only bars on the doors front and back, and the other reason, hanging head in shame is I couldn't work out how to fit it to the said bars!

While I was in the petshop, one I hadn't been to before, I bought a circus carousel thingy with holes for them to play in looks good but no room now to put it in!
