Chinchilla Wheel

[Vyandra]

Hello, i have a question, i have 2 chinchillas, a Male and a Female, both are under a year.

My female chinchilla cant stop using her wheel (i got the Largest Silent Spinner i could find [12 inches]) so i decided to get my male the same one of a different color, but he wont even look at it, is there a way to get him to use it?

I would strongly recommend getting a larger wheel, either a flying saucer, silver surfer, or chin spin. 12' is too small for a full grown chin and result in back injuries because of unnatural forced arching. Not to mention the silent spinners are plastic

I agree with swapping out the wheels.

Some chins like wheels, some don't. He may just need to get used to having the wheel there and eventually he may try to use it.
