Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: What are the main benefits of a running disc over a traditional running wheel? 

Running discs offer a flat running surface, which promotes a more natural and straight-backed running posture, helping to prevent spinal curvature issues that can occur with traditional wheels. They are also often designed for quieter operation.

Q2: How do I choose between the Small (Ø 15 cm) and Large (Ø 20 cm) sizes? 

• Small (Ø 15 cm): Best suited for smaller hamsters (e.g., Dwarf Hamsters) and mice.
• Large (Ø 20 cm): Ideal for larger hamsters (e.g., Syrian Hamsters) and slightly larger mice.
  • Important: Ensure your pet can run with a straight back and does not have to arch their spine while using the disc. If their back is curved, the disc is too small.
