I have been looking for different types of exercise wheels, but I just can't find one. Any suggestions?

Yep, Suzi covered all the types. Some chins LOVE the saucer and some never figure it out. My Chico never figured out a regular wheel but he figured out the saucer in about an hour. Beck, on the other hand, figured out the Chin Spin right away, and would spin the saucer with his teeth.

Oh I did forget one, ForCHINate Chins Chinchilla Rescue www.chincessories.com/cageaccessories.htmOnly thing I have heard about this one is that it is noisy, maybe someone else will pipe in that has experience with this wheel

Thank you so much. I just have two questions; which one will last the longest, and which one will be the most quiet?

I have had one of everything, lol. The cheap wheel from Forchinate Chins is VERY noisy, like ball bearings rolling down a tin roof. And dust clogs up the bearings and you have to keep taking it apart and oiling them. Gave that one away pretty quickly... I just recently got a Grape Escape (purple version of the Silver Surfer) and I have to say, it installs the easiest and runs the quietest! BUT I notice it is a bit wobbly. like the wheel is attached to the mounting bracket a little crooked or something. Nothing I can do about it, and Phoebe doesn't seem to mind. I still like the Chin Spins because they are just so giant and durable, but Suzi is right, the bearings need replacing every few years and it is a giant PITA to do it. Patty adores her saucer, and it's quiet enough, but she is a BIG chin and when she gets that thing going you can hear tha-wump tha-wump tha-wump ALL through the house, lol. The saucer is the most expensive and the surfer is the least expensive. They are all durable and should last the whole lifespan of your chin, plus some.
