Rodent on a wheel (7)

I believe the answer is:

hamster

(Other definitions for hamster that I've seen before include "Kind of rodent with cheekpouches, often a pet" , "Furry pet" , "Common pet rodent" , "one running round in circles?" , "Rodent often kept as pet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
