Hmm...this is interesting mlakers. Do they use those holes on the back side? My plastic canvas is wide enough for them to walk on, so I'm curious if I need to do this. (I bought the medium wheel).

No, I don't think those additional holes are necessary at all, especially if they are already using it and doing well with how you have it.

Okay, thanks mlakers! I might do it on my second wheel. The original wheel gets used the most. I wish I had room to put the second wheel by the first wheel, but it would be too crowded.

It's totally worth it!! Our crab, Mike, who is currently molting, LOVED the hamster wheel!! He would be on it both day and night!

Haha oh my goodness, this is hilarious.
"I didn't know you have a hamster?"
"Oh, I don't. It's for my hermit crabs."
It's a really good idea though!!
