Basin Wheels don't qualify for free shipping - they are large and have to ship UPS Ground in most cases! If the new USPS Ground Advantage option turns out to be more cost effective, we will add them to our free shipping option.
Please note before placing your order -
Our Basin Wheels are made with care by hand. Compared to other common wheels, the larger inner diameter (12.75") of the running surface allows far more room for your hedgehog to stretch their legs and run in a more natural posture, avoiding back and neck strain while exercising. The smooth surface is easy to clean, and the silent bearings can be replaced if needed as they're exposed to water during cleaning over time.
The base is angle adjustable and allows for 3 height adjustments. Feel free to reach out if you need a modified stand to accommodate hedgies with mobility challenges, creatively sized litter boxes, or anything else!
Because the wheels are hand made, there are inevitable inconsistencies. Basin wobble is difficult to eliminate, but is cosmetic and does not effect the performance of the wheel. We care about the quality of our wheels and only ship them if we feel comfortable with their performance. If something seems off, please let us know!
Our wheels are larger than many others on the market. This is a benefit for your hedgie, but does mean that you will require a 14” by 10” footprint and 16" height clearance in the enclosure for the wheel to fit.
You can get replacement bearings here!
What about litter trays?
Our current best recommendation for a litter tray is this 12x12x2 acrylic tray that sells for $6 at Target. It fits nicely into our current wheel stand size. We are still on the lookout for a better tray that is wide enough to fit the whole stand, since hedgies usually like to potty in the back corners behind their wheels!
