Hey guys,

Rubys been keeping us awake for the last several nights with the racket from her wheel that came with the Hamster Heaven, and shes downstairs! lol

Today i took a trip to pets at home and invested in a Silent Spinner. Once i got it home and spun it, i noticed, although it does spin silently and seems to spin forever, it looks like and moves like a buckled bicycle wheel! Kinda wobbles.

Is this normall or should it pretty much stay where it is when its spinning?

What do all yours do? im sure its not suposed to rock back and forth when spining resembling a buckled wheel?

If its not normall it will be a trip back tomorrow to change the thing lol.

Thanks for your help!

I know what you mean as Poppet's silent spinner does the same thing... it doesn't seem to affect it though really just looks a bit wonky if you watch it from the side

Basically when it spins it kinda wobbles at the back like a broken bicycle wheel does.

i think i know what you mean mine does that. if it is silent then it is fine, i think that may be they way they are designed.

A normal 6" one shouldn't make any noise.... if you got the 12" one..... they AREN'T silent and make a racket even with lubricating the back of it!

Hey, thanks for all your replys.
Yes its silent when its spinning, its a 6.5" wheel, but the whole thing rocks backwards and forwards when its spinning. its doesnt just spin round or bob up and down slightly, it wobbles as its spinning. is that normall?

Mine wobbles when it goes round, like a wonky bicycle wheel. It still works fine though, but if you are really concerned just take it back to the shop

Just been and looked at ours and they don't seem to rock backwards and forwards so I think you would be better changing it.

I've got a silent spinner and the other wheel that the hamster heaven came with but my russian persists on using the savic one.

Have you tried putting a bit of vaseline or something like that on the spoke so it doesn't squeak?
