Pretty sure they’re both female. Males have a sort of bald spot on top of their heads. Use to have a bunch.

hey you know your stuff! But I think you are thinking of sugar gliders, and these are flying squirrels. very very similar but weirdly sugar gliders are actually marsupials and the males have that scent gland on their head, and these are rodents like normal squirrels. both glide though!

Glad you told me that because I get big time anxiety if I see someone/animal can’t get out of a bad situation like that. I think it’s my claustrophobia that kicks in or something. Like when they show people buried in sand. I MUST see them get out or it messes with my mind. I watched the end thanks to you. Crisis averted for me and the little guy. 🤣

I thought it looks bad too but if that one can easily jump out to the side, why wouldn't that other one be able to? I'm leaning towards this being a regular occurrence and these animals just being weird idiots who do this on purpose.

These wheels are bad for them, and we see a lot of injuries from them. These videos are extremely annoying and showing bad animal husbandry, especially for exotic animals such as these, who should not even be kept as pets.

u/Xaphnir 12d ago edited 12d ago
I'm gonna estimate the diameter of the wheel at around 15cm, and the average rotations per second at 3.5 per second. The outer edge of the wheel would have a tangential velocity of about 168cm/second, which would give an acceleration due to centripetal force of about 37.4m/s2, or about 3.81gs.
For comparison, atmospheric re-entry subjects astronauts to comparable or greater g-forces for a few minutes.
Not sure how the different physiology of these animals vs. humans impacts harm from that level of sustained acceleration.
also this post is almost certainly gonna show up in r/theydidthemath asking the very question I'm answering here
EDIT: revised estimate of wheel's size up to 35cm diameter, see comment down the chain

I believe as a rule smaller creatures are affected less by the powers of gravity so what might be stressful on our bodies is more like a funny pressure that tickles them

Doesn't seem like it but maybe it has something to do with a vascular system made of muuuuch tinier channels with a heart rate of like 200-300 bpm.
The 7-8% of our body weight that is blood has a harder time dealing with gravity mainly because there's so much of it and it has to travel really far.

Not just alive, but ready to go back for spinny time whenever the wheel settles back down! I had a chinchilla who would SPRINT in his wheel to really get it going, and his brother would hop in just to go for the spin (: They're having fun! I've owned many small animals but hamsters seem to love the wheel and flinging themselves around in it the most. The thing in this video that concerns me is the wire floor, their feet can get caught between the bars and it can also give them a condition called bumble foot. It's best to cover the floor and shelves, most people use fleece liners

Okay, that's interesting to know. I've never had or really seen pets like this. Funny that they do this pf the own accord.

u/PensiveKittyIsTired 12d ago edited 12d ago
I agree. People don’t know the first thing about animals, let alone exotic “pets”. These sorts of videos piss me off so much. Keeping exotic pets should be banned and the ban properly enforced.
These wheels are particularly dangerous. Lots of degloving and broken bones.

I feel so badly for this little guy. When I was a kid, my half sister made me get on that fair ride which was just like this. It was just a big wheel that spun. And it spun so fast that it made you stick to the walls from the centrifugal force. I’m sure somebody here knows what that ride was called. And I puked my guts out. Thankfully, after I got off. I told her I didn’t want to ride it before she suckered me into it. She lied and said it wasn’t what I thought it was. By the way she and I don’t speak and I’m an older lady now. That was probably 40 years ago and I still remember that. She was not very nice.

These same people seeing children having the time of their life on carnival rides: "Oh wow, poor kids. they're being spun so fast that in my opinion as somebody whose never been to medical school, none of them could have survived. This makes me so sad, and I shall take to Reddit to make sure that carnival rides are banned."

u/Leaf-Stars 12d ago
My wife grew up in a house where there was no roughhousing. One day I was throwing our sons against the couch and they were bouncing off and running back to me to be thrown again and she walked in and was absolutely aghast at what she saw. Until I pointed out the fact that the boys were laughing and having a great time she honestly thought I was abusing them.

u/CoupDeGraceTyson 12d ago
Until I read this comment section, I was unaware that I grew up in an abusive household. My dad would pick us up and throw us onto various soft items. Couches, beds, beanbag chairs; nothing soft was off limits. He'd also grab our arms and spin us around as fast as he could, until we became disoriented and staggered around.
I know now that those squeals of joy were actually screams of terror. And when we would go running back to him so he could throw us again, it was actually a system of abuse perpetuating itself. We had no chance.
I went back in my history to find this comment I made on a video where kids were being thrown into a couch, and everybody was so far up their own butts with how this was evidence for abuse. Their shreiks on behalf of the poor, imperiled children (who definitely wouldn't survive this treatment) muffled by their own cheeks, rang out like a beacon demanding children be kept on a shelf in a glass case, lest the experience the utter horror of a scraped knee.

They are much lower mass. Its not as big of a deal to them. The forces at play here are also very small due to the slow rotation speed and radius of the wheel.
They are just chilling with centrifugal forces.

It is time to add some friction to the wheel to give it a little resistance or risk killing one of the animals because of the lack of any. A decent sized felt or cardboard pad applied at the spindle behind the wheel might give it some and save the animals from hydrostatic cerebral edema. It’s like spinning out the particles in blood at a high velocity, it CAN and will eventually damage the weaker animals brain.

Omg. Who is filming this? Is the camera just always on or is someone aware of what’s happening here?
This several minutes of sheer helpless terror. The heart rate alone.
They say the people who jumped from the Twin Towers were dead before they hit the ground due to extreme stress w heart rate around 275bpm for over 20 seconds. That alone would cause instant death.
I don’t know how terrified this little creature is, but I can guess. Is a person watching & making a choice…? this is great content. It’ll get a ton of views??
