I know that it's dangerous to let baby mice anywhere near a wheel, as they can get injured.
What's the minimum age at which it's safe and appropriate to provide young mice with a wheel?
I have a group of 4 boys, nearly five weeks old, and they have calmed down a lot, the popcorn/flea stage is well behind them. Would it be safe to let them have a wheel now? I'm keen to give them the pleasure and exercise and distraction of wheel fun if possible.
I'm thinking of a solid plastic wheel, nothing with wire or bars - it's one of those silent ones as in the attached picture.
