What is dual ball-bearing technology• Two stainless steel ball-bearings are positioned within the back plate of the wheel, ensuring the wheel glides smooth and silent. The innovative bearings SPIN around the center pin as your pet runs, unlike annoying squeaky wheels on the market that have an axle that the wheel rotates around creating friction and noise. 

Accessories: Pet nails can grow to be long and sharp. Not only can this be painful to owners during handling, it can also cause your pet to frequently get stuck on fabrics, like pouches or clothing. Nail trimming using clippers can be difficult and may even cause injury to your pet if done incorrectly. Sandy Trimmer Tracks provide a soft, abrasive running surface for your pet while using their exercise wheel. Simply install the sandy track in place of the regular track, it takes less than a minute, and your pet’s nails will be naturally filed down as they run (see assembly instructions and video below). Keep the sandy trimmer track in for 1-2 days per week (or monitor when nails are filed). This track is completely safe and will not cause harm or discomfort to your pet. Conveniently hand-washable and reusable to last the lifetime of your pet. Do not submerge sandy trimmer track for long periods of time. It may be necessary to initially trim pet's nails with clippers before using a sandy trimmer track. Then the track will keep the trimmed nail smooth through frequent use of the sandy track. The AutoClean Track has a perforated design which allows feces, urine, and other pet debris to drain from the wheel, to save time cleaning and increase ventilation within the wheel. The Silent Runner Cage Attachment allows you to attach the wheel directly to any wire cage to free up floor space, or mount at different heights. All accessories sold separately.

Cleaning: Spot clean your Silent Runner wheel daily or as needed, we recommend Kage Kleen cleaning solution. Wash your pet's wheel once per week or as needed with warm soapy water. We recommend disassembling the wheel during cleaning. Rinse and dry completely before re-assembling the wheel and returning it to your pet's cage. Remove metal hardware before washing. The plastic parts of the wheel are dishwasher safe, top rack only.

Maintenance: The Silent Runner spins on dual ball bearings located in the back plate of the wheel. These bearings are subject to wear and should be replaced every 4-6 months so that the wheel can work at it's best capability. If needed, we offer free replacement bearings upon request within 90-days of purchase, with proof of purchase. Replacement bearings can be purchased on exoticnutrition.com for just $3.99 per pack.
