Getzoo Ø 27 cm plastic wheel with wooden stand (blossom pink) and cork inlay

With our new plastic impeller, we focus on nature and aesthetics, thanks to the new wooden stand. This not only increases the robustness and stability of the wheel, but also gives it a natural look. The diameter of 27 cm makes the wheel ideal for dwarf hamsters and coloured mice.

What are the advantages of a plastic wheel?

Like our wooden and cork wheels, this wheel is height-adjustable and has a very quiet ball bearing.

There are two decisive advantages over the natural materials.

• Firstly, it will egg less as it is not made of "working" wood at all. This means that the wheel will not warp with the fluctuating temperature in the room.
• And for another, it is much easier to clean.

Cleaning becomes an important issue especially when it has to be done more often than usual. If there is an infestation of mites, for example, it should be rinsed daily. This is a strain that lasts several weeks, and a wheel made of wood would become so brittle that the risk of injury can no longer be ruled out.

Tip: Please note that our Kuggee bearing is only protected against splash water and should not be immersed in water. However, you can treat the front side with water as you like, and the cork insert can withstand quite a bit.

Species-appropriate stand without scissor effect

The wooden stand avoids the dangerous scissor effect and provides additional safety for your little darling. The wheel is made of food-safe plastic that meets high standards and has no negative impact on your pet's health.

Exclusively food-safe plastic

We use only food-safe plastic in the manufacture of these wheels. In other words, it is plastic that is allowed to come into direct contact with food without any health concerns and without changing its taste or smell. This factor is also not irrelevant for toys and consequently, of course, not in connection with our beloved pets.

In order for an item to be considered food safe, it must meet high standards. No substances may be emitted that would have a negative effect on health. For example, there are strict limit values for plasticisers, which must of course be met.

Replaceable cork inserts

Like our wooden wheels with cork treads, the plastic versions have corresponding inserts. These are glued to a food-safe and unbreakable plastic strip to make replacement easier.

You can simply remove it, scrub it with a toothbrush and warm water and then put it back in the wheel. Alternatively, this insert can also be integrated into other wheels of the same size.

It also makes it much easier to replace the cork insert if a new one is needed.
