Regular exercise is essential for maintaining healthy weight, strong muscles, and overall well‑being in small rodents. The Trixie Running Plastic Disc offers:

• Cardiovascular Health: Continuous running promotes heart health and improves circulation.
• Muscle Development: Engages leg muscles, enhancing strength and coordination.

Installation & Placement

Setting up the disc is straightforward. Place it on a flat, stable surface within your pet’s enclosure. Ensure that the base sits securely to prevent tipping. The disc can be positioned near food or water bowls for added convenience, but avoid placing it directly under feeding areas to maintain hygiene.

Maintenance & Care

• Cleaning: Wash with mild soap and warm water after each use. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue that could attract pests.
• Drying: Allow the disc to air dry completely before re‑installing to prevent mold growth.
