So I was browsing and I came across a wheel from Oxbow! I am assuming they are new and just came onto the market because there weren't many reviews and I haven't seen them before ( I may be completely wrong ). They come in 3 sizes: 8 Inches, 10 Inches, and 12 Inches. This is such a great step forward! It is amazing to see Brands that are common in pet stores come out with appropriate size wheels that are way easier to get your hands on and not have to resort to buying online to get the correct size wheels. The wheel is a "silent runner" so it is a similar style to a Nitenagel and Kaytees silent spinners. I attached the link to where I found them! Now I originally found them on the Petvalu website which is a Canadian pet store chain but I dug a little and found them on Chewy.com which is an American pet website that I believe only ships within the United States. There is another wheel Oxbow released that is able to attach to bars on cages that measures 6.9 Inches. Robos are the only species that would be able to use this wheel but most people recommend at least an 8-inch wheel. Let me know what you guys think!
I've seen those at PetValu a few times, and they look really nice. They are silent, pretty easy to clean and of course come in suitable sizes! They are much cheaper (at least for me) then buying wheels online. The only problem is the flimsy base, so you will probably need a rock to put on top of the base to keep it from wobbling. Next time I need a wheel I will probably get this one!
Edit: Just letting you know that the link is showing a different location (then mine), so maybe it's yours? Hopefully this is helpful if you don't feel confortable sharing where you live!

Thank you so much I just changed it to somewhere random, is it showing anything in your cart?

I'm a bit curious about it, but the thin wire base is a huge turn off. I like Oxbow for a lot of their other stuff, but their hamster stuff really stinks! The food is inappropriate for hamsters and their cage is horrifying.

Yes most petstore cages marketed toward hamsters are usually not good. I am curious what you mean by the wire base? Do you mean mesh wheels or the wire to hold the wheel, like a silent spinner wheel?
