Hi All

Can anyone recommend the best wheel to get that will fit in a zoozone 2 cage. My mum has got a wheel for her hoggie (not sure on the brand of it) but she has to leave the wire door of the zoozone open as the wheel wont fit in when shut.

Are there any that will happily fit in without my having to have the lid of my zoozone open?

Thanks

Amy

The best wheels are larrys bucket wheels but not sure if it it's in zoo zone. I had a flying saucer wheel that fits in zoo zone but takes up a bit of floor space.

Larry's Bucket wheels do fit in the zoozone as far as im aware it's the bigger wheel that does not . I love Larry's wheels all of my hogs have them and i also have spares ... just ordered his new colour Brilliant .x

I have larry's wheel but without the tray - changing all my hoggies over to them as they are without a doubt the best wheel available. x

I havent got a larry's wheel but will prob get one in the future as they are so bigged up by every one. Atm I have a silent spinner, it wouldn't fit in the zoozone at first but my step dad just sawed a bit off the bottom of the stand and hey presto!! If you get one of these let me know and Id happily let you know how he did it in more detail xx

I have some Larry's wheels and am in the process of changing them all over to them as they are by far the best, easy to clean and quiet. They do fit in the zoo zone 2 Sian I have tried it.
Well worth the investment xx

Larrys wheel with the pans are 40 usd and without they are 35.00 so about twenty two pounds . I dispatch the wheels but when they arrive we get charged customs which is about 2.00 quid each and then stand postage out to you so works out about 28 quid .. but worth every single penny .x

I think if you look at Larry's website they are called Carolina bucket wheels and I believe their height is adjustable to suit your viv or zoozone.
The bucket wheels have excellent reviews and most if not all us girls on here use them, including our experienced UK breeders...
I'm sure if they weren't the best Lou wouldn't go to all the trouble she does to order them from the US for us, i'd recommend sending Larry a pm to confirm the sizing although I'm sure it is adjustable xxx

Well my bucket fits perfectly in my zoozone it's Caroline wheels that are big and they at used for big boned hedgehogs which is for the odd occasion.

Bucket wheels are perfect!! They fit everywhere and clean easily with a wet wipe.

Tilly loves her Larry wheel. She has had it since she first started wheeling. When I got Arthur we didnt have Larry wheels, so he used a flying saucer. As soon as Larry wheels starting being brought into the country by Lou, I got one for Arthur and one for Tilly. Unfortunately Arthur just wouldn't use it. I think he had got used to his flying saucer, and just would not use his Larry wheel. Which is annoying as Larry's are so much easier to clean!

Tilly enjoying her wheel...

There are wheels out there but they don't compare with Larry's i have had Larrys for over a year now and its still not scratch takes all of about 1 min to wash it reilable sturdy and non squeak ... I wouldn't have 10 /12 of them and ordered more if they weren't value for money and of a good quality .x

Wheels are everybodies personal preference - I have flying saucers, silent spinners and larry's wheels - I do prefer larry's wheels as they are easy to clean and with having 18 to do every morning, ease of cleaning is a must for me - Boss Hog has broken so many spinners so he was the first to have a larry wheel and he loves it - three more coming on this next order and can't wait to get them xx

Nope - i tip it on its side so the water runs in the bottom of it and then swill it round - with 18 wheels potentially clattering about all I want is silent wheels!

To protect the screws etc there is nothing wrong with taking it apart and spraying with a little WD40 every now and again. x
