It should be big enough that they are not bent around half the wheel when running around it, or their fur gets wrapped around the ends of the stand part. Ask the pet store, but generally there are wheels made for hamsters, and smaller ones for mice etc. They should not be the metal kind with the horizontal bars, because hamster feet/legs can get stuck in the space and break. There are ones that look like wire mesh, tiny squares. These are safer for the hamster and it's feet. Plastic wheels hold in odors more, so if your hamster urinates on the wheel, it can smell eventually.
