running wheel
Rodent exercise device
A running wheel is a circular exercise device that rotates freely on an axis, allowing small animals—especially hamsters, mice, and gerbils—to run in place.
The animal runs inside the wheel, which spins with their motion: The hamster spent hours on its running wheel.
Running wheels are standard equipment in rodent cages and laboratory settings for studying exercise behavior.
