Hi there. Thanks.
My tanks are both 20 long aquariums. The wheels are mesh metal and I got mine at Pet Supermarket, they are the regular size. I think Petsmart carries a similiar wheel made by superpet. But Pet Supermarket has a better price. I am not sure where you are, but they do have online ordering.

Here's the 29 gallon which I cleaned for the first time today (lasted a good 4 months) (of course I chose the hottest day of the year so far to clean it)  Alvin and Simon live in there currently. They have at least 30 different boxes, houses, and tubes as well as tons of chew toys, their wheel, water bottle, and food (they're scatter fed). The bedding is aspen and they also have Timothy hay and toilet paper (nesting). They absolutely love this tank. It's massive compared to the 10 gallon. I'll be back later this week with pictures of Olaf's setup; I ordered a new topper, so I'm waiting for it to come in before I take pictures. |

lilsmacko They did at first but they've learned by now. Sometimes they'll bury the water bottle, but then when they want a drink they'll dig it up again

Olaf's topper came today. It's the Chew Proof Small Animal High Rise from Ware. I'm really happy with the quality of it compared the the old one that I have from before.  I have an 8.5" wheel for him which I'll be upgrading him to when he outgrows the 6.5". I'm just savoring the last bit of time before he's too big for a silent spinner and moves on to the loud mesh wheel... |

 So I took everyone's advice to heart regarding Fonzi's home and have moved him from his double Habitrail into a brand new 20 gallon tank!!! |

finally finished getting the levels right. had to put the wheel on a board to keep the boys from moving it around, than had to redo the highest shelf since the top of the wheel knocked against the bottom. Also finished decorating the shelf, and I finally have a place for my hello kitty plush collection! Since I took this pic I've added a lot more bedding, it almost reaches the lowest level. But, my boys are climbers more than they are diggers.  |

Here are my two setups. Ethan's ten gallon with tank topper.   The silver dish is sand bath, white dish food, an old mug he loves to lie on, and wooden chews are in his topper. The bottom is hay and kiln-dried with cardboard and his wooden hut. This is freshly cleaned so the level will be up soon. Then my permanent split. Two layers of 1/4 inch mesh separate Jassie (left) and Nico (right). They share a 55 gallon tank.  |

 The final set up finished on the weekend. There is an air gap all round the edge, they see to be enjoying the space. |
