Hamster Wheel Is A Hit!

Got super lucky and caught Clawford on the new hamster wheel! He's also sporting BFG's old shell, which means he got a lot bigger from his last molt! He's officially graduated out of his signature spotted turbo

It wouldn't let me post the video of him running on it but he went on for a few good minutes having a ball

Got lucky and caught him on camera

Nope! it's actually on a stand that I buried so the crabbies wouldn't knock it over

Suction cups work too though

Awesome. I wish I had a tank big enough for a hamster wheel. I couldn't add one with out some serious rearranging.

Highly recommend seriously rearranging! Hermits walk miles in the wild. It prevents boredom, gives them much needed exercise!

Very cool Gaby! I don't recommend burying the stand in the sub. I don't remember how many hermits you have, but I hung mine. (Stand upside down with command hooks and thin rope) that way nothing gets in the mechanics of wheel when it falls. I have crabs lining up to use mine, and 2 on it at a time!

lol I might do that, I've only got 3 crabs and one is molting and another is just underground so there's not really too much competition at the moment
