Spinning wheel w/ suction cups?

Post by Plasmoc » Thu Nov 05, 2020 8:14 pm

I upgraded my crabbie’s tank today to a 16 gallon glass tank. I was hoping to attach a spinning hamster wheel to the side of the tank so as to save floor space.

Has anyone found a way to attach a spinning wheel to the glass side via suction cups etc?

I saw one post showing someone hung a wheel upside down via twine and used suction cups on the stand. I don’t have twine so I tried using these rings & suction cups I have from a lizard hammock, but it kept tipping forward.

Any ideas?

I didn’t get photos of it in the tank (sigh) but here’s what I tried Image

I would try sticking it back on there and then finding something suitable to wedge behind the underneath side to keep it from tipping over at the top...as it won’t allow the bottom to lean into the glass. Hope you get the visual, lol! Good luck, I love these things and hope to get one soon!

I’m sure someone else has a better idea, lol
