I've heard WD-40 can hurt them, not sure though, maybe bees wax? But how to put it on? Any ideas would help...

Try some cooking oil or spray some Pam on it.

arn't squeeking hamster weels the worst? If you can take the wheel off of the stand then put some wax on the two pegs that hold the wheel in place. Make sure that there are no clumps that the hamster can chew off I did this once a week with my hamsters wheel and it worked fine and didn't seem to harm him.

Use olive oil or vegetable oil instead. Dab some oil on a Q-Tip and apply a little to the axles of the wheel.

a small bit of bag of balm should be okay,you can find it in the grooming section at a local walmart,this stuff is also great if you have dry hands it stays on even after lots of hand washing

rub a candle on the joints or use Crisco. I like the cooking spray idea.

A tiny dab of petroleum jelly or vaseline is safe and effective!

chapstick. i use it on mine all the time and it stays on for about 2 weeks before it either wears off or they lick it off (which i haven't seen them doing.)

It might stink but try melted cheese. And it would make them attracted to it. =] But if you want something less stinky than try tanning oil. Hope I helped & good luck.
