@mytube6913 I have a friend who pet sits and when she had a hedgie, the wheel must have had mesh wire too large for its feet, and one got hung in the wheel and tore a back leg out of the socket.
Igel's feet are considerably larger than the wire mesh, and I keep his claws trim--he's never had any issues with this wheel. Thanks for your concern :)
How are the pads of his feet? I've read that they are sensitive and can get sore from running on rough surfaces. My hedgehog uses the same style wheel, but I line it with craft-foam. He runs much faster than this, and for hours at a time. The way this hedgehog is moving makes me think the wire hurts his feet.
Also, I use canola oil to grease the axil of the wheel. It gets rid of that squeek completely. =)

That wheel isn't good for a hedgehog. You need something with a solid ground, and NO crossbars.
