Wheel 'y' Fit wheel any good?

[kim]

I am wanting to get my 2 older boys a new wheel as the one they have at the moment is solid plastic and there always using it as a toilet and i'm having to clean it maybe 10 times a day and when i'm not there to clean it then there running in it with there pee and poo. So I'm after a mesh wheel and am currently looking at this one www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151455333451?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT has anyone got this and is it any good?My other option would be one like this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400666678123?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&var=670215566435&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT which my other 2 boys have but that one makes quite alot of noise so be nice to try a different one.

The Wheel Y Fit looks very much like the plastic Silent Spinner - except it's made of wire mesh. I also like that it comes in an 8 inch size - Silent Spinners only come in 4, 6, and 12 inch. (A 6 inch wheel is OK for adult females, but cramped for males, and 12 inches is just too big for most setups.) If I ever get boys, I would definitely look into the Wheel Y Fit.

I don't own a Wheel Y Fit, but I have several Silent Spinners. I can tell you that while the Wheel Y Fit hub will be spin quietly, the stand will vibrate and clunk against the tank/cage. If there's any way to really secure it in place, it should be much quieter than the ones you currently have for your other gerbils.
