Please Help!

Hi, everyone! So the other day one of my girls, Iris, was using the RodiPet wooden wheel. She got her tail stuck in the little gap where the actual wheel screwed on to the stand. Poor and unsuspecting Violet then hopped on and ran on it, bot realizing that Iris was stuck. I heard Iris screech and ran over to the cage, immediately removing Violet from the wheel and getting poor Iris unstuck. So I also removed the RodiPet wheel, and don't really know what to do. Does anyone know of better wooden wheels? I feel really bad for Iris, although she is now fine and happily bouncing around. Please reply with wooden wheels that are safe to use! Thank you so much

Oh no! I believe I read about this happening on Instagram pretty recently. 
EDIT: here! https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0YUHngE9m/ This owner purchased some 'Getzoo' cork wheels instead. That might be good to look into.
I would email the company and let them know. The last time it happened they claimed it was the first time, so it might help them to know this is a reoccurring issue with the wheel.

I unfortunately don't know of any wooden wheels, but I have heard of people making their own out of popsicle sticks. If you're determined to stick to wooden wheels over plastic, maybe search for a DIY video on YouTube?
