How big should my hamster wheel be? My hamster gets to going really fast and he keeps falling out of his wheel. I thought the wheel was big enough but I am going to buy a bigger wheel, so hammy does not keep falling out, he is very fast in his wheel.

For a Roborovski 8cm diameter or larger. Has he only just started doing this or has he always done this? In theory a bigger wheel should help prevent them going right over the top with centrifuge. But sometimes they just leap out.
A good option can be the 9" silent runner wheel. The holes in the front tend to make them stop and check before jumping out
You can get bar attachments for it so it fixes to the cage bars at whatever height you want.

It works really well attached to the bars and it's a completely silent wheel.

I have a 7 inch wheel, is that big enough, or do I need an 8 inch wheel? I will take a look at the wheel you showed me, thank you. My hammy does get to spinning too fast and he keeps falling out if his wheel... He just started doing it. He might have before but I did not notice it. I want to get a new and different wheel though. one that is bigger.. The big wheel will fit in his cage.For a Roborovski 8cm diameter or larger.

It's not too bad for a robo but 9" is the sweet spot - not too big, not too small I think that 9" silent runner will be good as you can attach it to the cage bars and that keeps it stable at whatever height you want, and it will slow him down a bit and he won't be able to throw himself out. Sometimes they do that just for the heck of it, but they're more careful when there's a solid front and you see them stopping now and then and checking where the holes are.
