The Ugo Basile running-wheel is made of stainless steel, provided with low friction Teflon bushing, for smooth action. The wheel is housed in a clear polycarbonate cage and a stainless steel wire lid with exclusive lid locks fasten securely to the cage body.

The lid incorporates a 500 ml water bottle and a U-shaped food hopper pellets. A solid stainless steel lid covers the opening at the edge of the activity wheel.
