Toy used by rodents such as hamsters, gerbils or mice to exercise in confined spaces such as a cage
This article is about the exercise device for rodents. For the Australian television satirical comedy series, see The Hamster Wheel.
Wooden hamster wheel, size 33cmLike other rodents, hamsters are highly motivated to run in wheels.
A hamster wheel or running wheel is an exercise device used primarily by hamsters and other rodents, but also by other cursorial animals when given the opportunity. Most of these devices consist of a runged or ridged wheel held on a stand by a single or pair of stub axles. Hamster wheels allow rodents to run even when their space is confined. The earliest dated use of the term "hamster wheel", located by the Oxford English Dictionary, is in a 1949 newspaper advertisement.[1]
