Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What pet species is the Oxbow Attachable Quiet Wheel designed for?

Ans: According to Oxbow, this wheel is tagged for gerbils, hamsters, rats, and mice, with Oxbow specifically noting it's designed for smaller breed hamsters. If you have a larger hamster breed, check the running surface size before purchasing.

Q2: How quiet is this exercise wheel really?

Ans: Oxbow describes this as a whisper-quiet design, intended to let pets exercise without disturbing the household. Since Oxbow doesn't publish specific decibel measurements, actual noise levels may vary somewhat by individual unit and usage over time.

Q3: How big is the Attachable Quiet Wheel?

Ans: Oxbow's own product page doesn't list an exact size for this wheel. Some retailers describe it as roughly 6.9 to 7 inches in diameter, though this isn't confirmed directly by Oxbow, so check the packaging to be sure.
