RUNNING WHEELS

Opossums can become depressed for a number of reasons.
Here are some ideas for building a large exercize wheel to keep your pet opossums happy, both mentally and physically.

A 30 inch diameter wheel, 12 inches wide generally sells for $100 plus shipping which is $35 to the East coast, and $50 to the West coast. We've tried everything to get around those shipping charges but because of its being oversize, there's nothing we can do. Pick up is, of course free.
Maybe if I can make a 28 inch, or even 26 inch, we can reduce shipping charges.
