I have a robo dwarf hamster who wont go on his wheel?

my robo dwarf hamster taz used to live in an aqaurium that was made for hamsters. it had a plastic wheel and tubes connected to it. recently i moved him out of that cage and into a fish aqaurium for more room. he likes it in there becuz he has 2 homes, a wheel, a toilet paper tube, a water bottle, and a food bowl. he seems very happy in there, but i have yet to see him go on his wheel. he now has a metal hamster/mice wheel. the mice i used to have went on it, so taz now has their wheel. i dont think he knows what it is becuz it is metal and had 2 openings unlike his old one. here is a pic of the one he has now - http://www.petco.com/product/105026/PETC鈥?/a> - and his old one - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d鈥?/a> please help :(I have a robo dwarf hamster who wont go on his wheel?
My old hamster had that one :)

But you have too let him get used too it,

Lets say you get a new cell phone you will have to find out how it works and what it has and all that good stuff :)
Just give him some time to get used to the new wheel. In a few days he should be running on that thing like no tomorrow!I have a robo dwarf hamster who wont go on his wheel?
Did you clean the wheel after the mice had it? He might smell the mice on it and not want to use it. Put him in the wheel as well. Then he knows the entrance. Give him time. He will adjust.
He's still probably getting used to his habitat. Bt just a tip, i don't think that wheel is good for your robo. His tiny little feet could get stuck in the holes and may result into an injury. i recommend the silent spinner wheels, they work great! good luck with taz!I have a robo dwarf hamster who wont go on his wheel?
i cant see the links sadly.If its metal with gaps you can weave some cardboard in and out of the gaps to make it more secure for his feet.



Robos adjust quite quickly.Dont worry.
maybe he can smell the mice or he just dosn't like it -- lucky for you. you can get some sleep! i recommend a silent spinner! i have that for my syrian -- but syrians don't use them as much.
