The flying saucer wheel was invented to provide a safe exercise outlet for chinchillas and other small animals. Drum-type wheels must be very large to avoid over-arching of the back. Wheels with slats, bars, cross members, spokes, open wire mesh or screen often result in serious injury to the animals. Feet, legs or heads may be trapped or snared, sometimes requiring amputation or resulting in death of the animals. Since rodents are nocturnal, most injury will occur at night. If a foot becomes trapped, the animal may chew it off to escape. This wheel has no openings, slats or sharp edges where injury can occur.

The unique, patented dish design of the Flying Saucer Exercise Wheel produces a running surface with a diameter substantially greater than the actual wheel diameter and produces very little noise when it's being used.

The greater 'Effective Diameter' allows animals to use a full length stride and run faster than ever.

These are the genuine Meadowbrook wheels made in the USA, not inferior copies.

They are available in three sizes:

Standard Wheel: (ideal for most animals)
Effective diameter: 510-560mm (20-22")
Actual diameter: 350mm (13.75")

Small Wheel: (really only needed for smaller cages)
Effective diameter: 400-460mm (16-18")
Actual diameter: 280mm (11")

Large Wheel: (for animals larger than a chinchilla)
Effective diameter: 610-660mm (24-26")
Actual diameter: 387mm (15.25")
