Raouly has had this wheel for a year and he doesn't chew it. It's a very robust wheel :)
(rats' stomach muscles only move in one direction, meaning they cannot vomit, burp etc. This is what makes them susceptible to poison)

Could you please replace your plastic wheel with a wooden one? Unlike rats, degus do not have a mechanism that prevents them from swallowing things they chew on. Plastic, when swallowed, can cause serious internal damage.
