I've always been scatter brained on this, but what sized wheel can a Chinese hamster have? Can they use 6 inch silent spinners or do they need Syrian sized wheels?

I believe that the small ones can use a 6.5 silent spinner, though often they require 8 inch wheels.

It depends on the length of the hamster.If the hamster is 3 inches long,get a 6 inch wheel.If the hamster is 3.25 inches long,get a 6.5 inch wheel,and so the calculations carry forward with wheel size and length.It's very simple actually.

I used to have a three inch wheel for my small Chinese hamster and it didn't really affect her. If I was more knowledgeable on wheels and wheel sizes back then though, I would've got a six and a half inch wheel .

3 inches?!I'm so glad things have changed O.O That's not even 2 inches of running space,so not even large enough for a robo!
Honestly from my perspective I'd rather say 4-6 for robos,8 inches for Chinese and dwarf hamsters,and 12 inches for Syrians.Luckily robo wheels are available cheaply and come in a crazy variety of colors and such if you order online,but then for Syrian hamsters you tend to be very limited with good wheels that are as cute and colorful as the smaller Asian wheels for example.
