My chinchilla, Sunny, has never had a wheel in his entire life. I've had him for about 8 months and have done tons of research before and after bringing him home. Before I ever read about wheels, I got him a plastic one from Petsmart, but now that's just sitting nowhere near him cause I know no plastic, plus it's a 12 inch. I've been looking at wheels for months and can't make a decision:( I looked at other posts on her, but never read about anyone who had a wheel with wood backing and a solid running surface, like this one: http://questhavenpets.com/chinchillas/products/products.html

I'll try to add a pic-this is my first question! What do you have to say about wood backs? It doesn't look like he could get to it to chew. Also, chin spins flake? Is that dangerous and if not, how quiet are they. I was going to try one of those homemade, food pan ones, but a bunch of people said they're too loud and he is in my bedroom. I can finally sleep through his craziness during the night, lol, but I'd like a quieter wheel. I know no spokes or mesh running surface. And it has to be at least 14 inch. Any help would be GREAT!!!! Thank you!
 
That's the chin spin. It's talked about on here a LOT. Many, many people use that wheel and are very happy with it.
 
The chin spin has the wood backing and you can order it without the powder coating so you wouldn't have any worries about it flaking. I just ordered 2 today.
 
Oh, lol! Silly me-I thought the chin spin was all metal! Do they ever pee on it? I know they're all different, but he's peed on his shelves before (all wood shelves). And vinegar/water has done the trick. And they pretty quiet, right?
 
I had a chin who peed on hers, so I had to give her the Flying Saucer, which I like better then the chinspin, but they are both excellent wheels and I still own both, Some chins never get the hang of the saucer, that is why people opt to have the Chinspin most often. But most of my chins have had both of them and I get them what they seem to use the most and the best.
