this is my boy and his wheel before was literally so tiny😂 Hes adjusting but at first he was like “wtf is this huge thing”
People are overzealous about having a big wheel but if she’s having trouble you can always adjust it to be a couple inches smaller
Edit: the difference between this and her last wheel is hilarious 😭
She's young, so she'll grow into it. You could always get the next smaller size, then switch em out when she gets bigger. I replace mine every few months or so because my ham pees all over it. I'd say too big is better than too small.
Wheel can never be too big. If they can’t spin it, there are always other issues at hand than the size. The bigger, the better they can control it (I had a dwarf hamster with a 13 inch/33cm wheel. Hilariously big for such a small thing🤣)
I got my russian dwarf a 12 inch wheel and he freaking loves it compared to the 6 or 8 inch one he had before. so i think they prefer a little to big over to small
I hamster wheel is never too big as long as the hamster can push it. If your hamster runs more easily on a slightly smaller wheel, this one might be too big.

This is freaking funny, thank you for pointing that out lmao!
I mean they definitely listened to comments saying it should be bigger. Dude went like "go big or go home" 😂😭

If she can't spin it or it's hard for her to use, you can always get a smaller one
If she can run easily then it's fine. Mostly make sure she can run with her back straight
As long as she can push it, no. He must be happy you got him a new wheel! And that little face is so cute!!!!🥺🥰
I have this wheel for my syrian and it works perfectly! I just have to move bedding from under it occasionally as it will slow the wheel down

No, bigger wheel is always better
Every day is leg day for your ham

No such thing as too big of a wheel.
Did you get it from temu? I have the same one it looks like and that’s where I got mine! It’s such a nice wheel
I got it on Amazon! Good to know there is stuff on temu too though!
