Things to consider when buying a wheel (in addition to all the usual, is it a safe material/design/big enough/quiet/turns easily etc) definitely not inspired by real life events, honest
- does the wheel fit through the cage door? remember to account for the depth of the wheel, don’t just measure the door diagonally at it’s widest point
- if the wheel doesn’t fit through the door can the cage be taken apart to get the wheel in?
- do other items that need to be taken out for cleaning fit past the wheel?
- does the cage tray still come out or is the wheel too low?
- can your pet easily get on to the wheel or is it too high?
- is the wheel somewhere you can clean it without needing to take it out every time? especially important if the cage needed to be taken apart to get the wheel in
- will the wheel be attached to the cage bars, if not what will stop the wheel from moving?
- how heavy is the wheel vs how sturdy is the cage?
