A laser light got mine started but they would get too crazy jumping for the light and fall out. If I put my hand on the outside of the ring they see a faint shadow move and then start running. DO NOT put hands on the inside of the wheel! Learned that one trying to smooth an inside sticker.
Leo took to it immediately and was doing the walking thing for the first week. Once he started running he would stop and look over his shoulder waiting for me to say "Good boy!", lol. Smooch took over a week to get on without coaxing. Also try the laser on the outside of the wheel. When they get in on their own and get in "the zone", tail up, ears kind of back, it's a beautiful thing.

K this tip seems so obvious to me. It's like a Duh Statement, You think????? Playing fetch with an SV, quickly teaches one to grab fast and through even quicker, or something like that
loves loves loves this wheel! She is on it literally every day. At times she walks, at times she runs and at times she really gets crazy and runs as though she were a cheetah chasing a gazelle across the Safari. This wheel truly is amazing. It is simply designed, lightweight, glides smoothly and aesthetically pleasing. There are 2 items that every cat owner should have:
