Last February I bought Peanut a Silver Surfer wheel. He loves it and it is metal and chin safe. I recently noticed he is chewing holes in his metal wheel. I ordered another one and replaced it because I don't want him to get hurt. He has already started chewing the new wheel. Does anyone else have this issue with their chin?? Any suggestions on how to stop him from doing this?? He is very very spoiled and has every chew toy you can imagine so it isn't because he doesn't have other things he can chew. Help! I just don't want to purchase another wheel a year from now if I don't have to plus it can't be good for his teeth. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
I had the same problem. My girls chewed through their PVC tube and started gnawing the edges of their old Silver Surfer. I switched to a Chin Spin at least two years ago and haven't had any issues since.
 
Ugh! I just bought him a new Silver Surfer. I was trying to think of something safe to rub on the edge of the wheel. Something that he wouldn't want to eat but not smelly enough so he wouldn't run in it. Thanks for the reply!
 
I have the same problem. My Chin Tricky is chewing the whole rim of the silver surfer. I loaded the cage up with chew toys and that didnt help. And when he chews the wheel it is very loud! If you come up with a solution I'd love to hear it!
