New Wheel Problem - 2008/05/16 08:11 i got a comfort wheel i believe, im not quet sure i got the wheel from stasi when i picked poe up

Re:New Wheel Problem - 2008/05/16 09:06 Can you attach it to the side of the cage? My comfort wheel would come off the metal as well....so I attached it inside the cage. I guess you could also try some plumbers tape around the poles and then force the wheel on to try to increase the friction between the stand and the wheel. Sometimes those stands are also crooked, so I've had luck bending them back a bit so it stands up a bit straighter...instead of leaning forward. (I don't know if that makes any sense).

Good luck!

Re:New Wheel Problem - 2008/05/16 15:31 Leona had the same problem with her Comfort Wheel at first. We solved it in a very low-tech way: we use a twist-tie (the plastic kind like you get on the cord of an appliance, not the paper kind like from a bread bag) to hold the plastic wheel onto the stand. It's worked for about a year now (actually, the same twist tie has lasted that long, too).

Re:New Wheel Problem - 2008/05/17 09:00 Try gluing the stand and the wheel together with super glue. Let it cure for a few days before putting it back in the cage. Emily
