the wheel in my hamster cage is very noisy is there a noise free wheel on the market?

Answer 1

~just rub the wheel w/ butter or oil - neither will be harmful to your pet.

Answer 2

Yes, there are some types of "silent wheels", i tried a lot! Bad thing is that they only work for a little while! What you should do i about every week ( or when necessary), put SOME oil / melted butter ( you don't want your hammie getting too fat do you?) on the part where you attach the wheel to the cage. It works 100% of the time for a couple days. I used to do it all the time but believe it or not i got used to it. ( it s not annoying at all to me now) but if it is just try the butter! hope i helped :)

Answer 3

I had a plastic wheel in my hamster cage it didn't make very much noise. The metal ones are real noisy The plastic ones you might hear a thump where the hamster is running but at least you don't hear screechhhhhh all night long been there done that. I believe Hartz makes the plastic wheels or used to i got mine at walmart but I haven't had a hamster in 7 years so they might not carry them any more.

Answer 4

Yes there is a wheel called the silent wheel but after all the miles your hamster puts on it, it will start to squeak too. So I just put my hamster in my bathroom when he starts to get really noisy!!

Answer 5

Hey hunny
Yes the best wheel is a silent spinner,its could silent because thats what it is *lol*
Well it makes a lil noise but nothing compared to other hamster wheals,if it gets a lil noisey(silent spinner)then take it apart and wipe it as water is proberly init or something.
Goodluck hun,pets at home,most petshops sell these.
If not try online as theres cheap hammie equipment sites :-)

Answer 7

Heeehehehh.... don't ya love those little critters who sleep during the day and workout at night? Bless their little furry hearts!
I've tried plastic wheels and they chewed it.

I have not seen anything that is really quiet. I have tried everything including adding olive oil to the wheel ..it works for awhile then it is back to the noise again.
maybe some type of wax on the wheel will work.

This might be a great invention if you could design such a wheel.

Answer 8

Maybe you should try oiling the wheel with something like vegetable oil (this isn't harmful to the animal). See if that cuts down on the noise level. If it still bothers you try a plastic wheel instead of metal.

Answer 9

Yes there are plently that don't make a noise but before you give up on your current one, check that if it's metal, it is oiled (use marge or veg oil because they are non toxic) and check that the wheel is properly fitted (loose ones often rattle and it can drive you crazy!)
But there are some very cheap and quiet ones about so just hit the shops! Or the net.

Answer 10

i dont think so, because when i had a hamster every wheel i bought always squeaked when he ran on it, and it would be so annoying because he always did it at night.... but id say the best would be get a plastic wheel... or i had a plastic house for him and it came with a clear blue wheel and it wasent that bad.


OIL and wd40 does not work, i tired that and it worked for like 2 nights but then the squeen would come back so unless you feel like re applying it then by al means go for it

Answer 11

Your hamster enjoys making the noise, knowing full well it is annoying you while he is a prisoner in your cage. Why spoil his fun. Endless hours of squeaking while running madly in a hamster wheel.
