Thanks, woke up this morning and she was already eating! I'm looking after her closely and the vet will re-examine her on Tuesday. I'm annoyed that I only noticed (she was eating normally) because her nose had bled and she'd scratched it up (it's still scarred and I have to clean it as well as giving her 4 medicines each time - hoping she won't hate me for it!).
I have added 3 links (UK based, but showing similar wheels). I bought two a while back. I asked the office admin to source me a couple of flying saucer wheels in metal, so I need to find out from the office PC where they were sold!
Mine are labelled Wagner and came from Germany by airmail but they're the coated finish type with gentle ribs on the face. Only issue I've had is that both have needed new centre bearing attachments. The bearings themselves are pretty sound, but the screws and nuts that hold them in tend to tighten and seize (urine-doesn't help them!) so I've drilled one out and modified both. Having said that they are not too pricey and degus love them. Fur's been on hers almost constantly since she got back.

If I find the info on the manufacturers I'll post/send a link.
EDIT: I found the invoice. Googling the manufacturer brings up the running plate link I put first. The label's changed (just to confuse me).

The links above are to Wagner's website. It's in German (they're near Köln) and mainly bird bits, but there is a large variety of nager (rodent) stuff. It's priced in Euros. Mine was £34.90 in January this year with a £9.90 charge for post to the UK. From that and the time difference I'd guess it's the large not extra large, and probably the same one as currently on amazon. It looks to be about the diameter of a standard 300mm/12" ruler. The Wagner site shows 28cm or 36cm so there's a decent choice there.
Sorry for the long, long reply, trying to cover it all!
