I wouldn't recommend them if they're anything like other metal-mesh wheels then there are bound to be gaps and sharp points sticking out all over. :/ Those type of wheels are made for quantity and not quality, which leads to very low safety standards.

The reviews all say that it squeeks badly.

It is a huge improvement! Better than the guillotine wheels! But I still wouldn't use it with my gliders.

I wouldn't use them, especially because of the bearing system. Like Nicole said, they're made for quantity, not quality.

Have 2 in cages here and haven't had any problems. Don't have sharp points on mine and no problem with squeaking that a drop of cooking oil doesn't fix right up. Mine are ziptied in just like all my wheels are. I wouldn't order online because I like to check them hands on in the store.

I have one of these type of wheels for my gerbils (they chew and destroy anything else) so I can see the value in them for gerbils (and degus, who are also power chewers)... but for gliders? No way.
