Yeah weve tried putting vaseline on the original wheel, which made it more quieter, but its the noise of her actually running in it, where the stands a flimsy design and bends so every time she runs the wheel kinda bounces and the stand lifts up slightly then back down so its constantly tapping on the bottom of the cage. Thats why we decided to get a silent spinner, stronger construction so hopefully wouldnt do the same. Think we may take it back then i know they can rock slightly but this one seems exessive lol

Yes I agree the Savic ones are flimsy and a bit noisy although it's my daughters bedroom that is above where the cages are so I don't worry..
Yes take it back and see if any of the others are any better.

Ask if Ruby can road test them in the shop.

If she is a syrian hamster, she won't last long in a 6" silent spinner, at least Misty didn't and by 4 months old she had to have a big one!

The next size up from the 6.5 is a 12" one. Would one of those fit in the hamster heaven? do P@H sell the bigger ones?

Yes I noticed that too - they are about £18 aren't they.

I think you and Shell are going to have to get a bag of cotton wool for your ears - a much cheaper option.

i have 9 silent spinners and 1 maybe 2 are wonky like u explain, although it doesnt affect their performance in my eyes i think its just the way they are designed to be honest although if you feel it shouldnt be that way then i would change it to put your mind at rest

i have:
2x dogs (rottweiler and a jug),
[color="DarkOrange"]1x african grey parrot,
5x syrian hamsters (toupe, baby, mocha, peach and daisey),
5x winter white dwarfs (rolo, polo, blossom, sunshine and harry),
2x female leaf insects (dont have names),
9x snakes (at the moment 8 are babies and for sale),
and a male tarantula (spinner)

i also have baby winter whites and baby syrians (mums are sunshine the winter white and daisey the syrian)

I have one that does the wobbling thing...it is still silent but is definitely buckled. You should take it back and exchange it or get a bigger wheel. A 6.5 inch wheel won't be big enough for a fully grown Syrian.

haha...mine doesn't make a racket mate.
