Could someone remind me what size wheel is suitable for mice?
An actual standing wheel, not the flying saucers, one of those would take up way too much floor space.

Your mouse should not have to arch it's back when riding it, I would assume the smallest one you can find would be suitable, but make sure their back is flat!(:

An 8 inch should be suitable for an average sized mouse. c:

I believe 6.5 - 7 inches is the minimum for mice. Isn't 8 inches the smallest size for a syrian?

A young small syrian may do all right with an 8 inch, but most need a 12 inch.

Sorry misread the Q
6.5 would be the minimum and probably 8 would be the maximum unless the mouse was quite chunky, my mice are too small to move a 12 inch wheel haha

I though 8" was for syrians too. I know Trixie do an 8" that is pretty big, and could easily accomodate my biggest syrian (who's a pretty decent size).

I'll just look at the 6.5-8" sized ones, and see which looks best. If it's not right when I get home, I'll exchange it for a better size

Viovet has some decent priced wheels if thats of any use to you?
Out of curiosity what kind of cage does he have?

I'll have a look, but it depends if someone can order from them for me, as I have no way of paying online.
Hes in a tank, can't remember the size of it off the top of my head, but it's good enough for now XD There's an aquatic shop near me that sells huge tanks cheap, so planning on upgrading to one of those, when they get the size I want back in XD
