Haha, the times I mostly see them use it is when I peek into the tank and they are on it and try to flee from me. But they can't! Because they are on a hamster wheel! Muahahaha

How long did it take them to go in it? I put one in my tank about 2 wks ago and so far nothing. I even put treats in there. I'm tempted to put one of them in there.

Be patient. You did just move them to their new tank, so they are probably still adjusting to that, and busy exploring every nook and cranny of it. :) make sure the wheel has easy as access to get to :)

They definately have easy access. I think 3 or at least 2 know about it and ride it alot. Once they get on they don't get off for a long time. :clap:

They prob think “I can do this!” And just keep falling down. “One more time.”
