Today, I am doing a review and sort of a background story for a Silent Spinner wheel I got Sheldon 2 months ago. I am late, sorry.
So, I went to a trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina with my class in May, and while we were staying in Sarajevo, a friend suggested to go visit some local pet shops. Sadly, we only came across one, and when we went to see animals. They didn't have any, we asked like "Do you sell animals?". They said they do, but not all the time, they did had some tanks on shelves, but there was no water or bedding inside. I was, of course "Do you sell hamster?", and they said only Syrians, occasionally; when litter arrives, which surprises me, since pet shops in Croatia overbreed and always have full stock. So after a big no-animals-whatsoever dissapointment I went to check on hamster stuff they are selling, not expectinmg to see anything mayor. But then when I got to the rodent shelf, I was happily surprised to a blue Silent Spinner in size medium. I asked if they do have more of it, but they said it's the last one left and new stock comes next week, but we were staying only 2 days. Too bad. I ended up paying 20 convertible marks, near 80 kuna, about some 10-11 $, which I believe is not too much to pay for a decent wheel. I couldn't wait to get home that night, and when I got home, first thing I did was replacing Sheldon's old bar wheel with Silent Spinner. I had no idea it was shaky, so we ended up not sleeping for half an hour that night since Shells decided to destroy that wheel. " Hell SILNET, should be called WAKES-YOU-UP-IN-THE-MIDDLE-OF-THE-NIGHT Spinner", thought I and was disappointed with this product everyone else seems to love. The day after I did my research on noisy Silent Spinners and discovered it should be taped down to the cage floor. I did it, and sleeping the folowing night was as peaceful as sleeping in heaven would be. All in all, I fell in love with this hamster product, and I can't see a reason that Croatian pet shops don't sell it. I do have plans, however, about ordering these wheels for all of my hamsters as soon as I turn 18 and get to shop online.
