Super Pet Dwarf Hamster Mini Run-About Exercise Ball

My hamster loves to roam around and sniff things while running in her hamster ball.

When she hits a wall or a bump, she sniffs at it, and sometimes moves on or sometimes tries to chew at it through the air slits(sometimes succeeding if a sock or towel) lol!

She absolutely loves it, and a lot of times doesn't want to return to her cage.

The only bad thing about most hamster balls is that they can pop open, especially if your hamster is like mine and chews on the inside of the plastic tabs that keep the hamster lid on.

To counteract this, I use a little duct tape on the lid or any loose fittings so I can let her run around without watching her like hawk.

I'm afraid I don't agree with the previous reviewer. I completely believe a ball might be bad for larger animals, but for some of my mice it seems to work very well. We have mice who want to run before we can even get the lid on. When we put the ball back in their space with the lid off, they'll step outside and then crawl back in, trying to make it move while I'm holding it still. Other mice never get used to this, and can sit there miserably until we let them out. Give each mouse two or three tries before you decide if this works for them. We would never consider using these if we had other pets or children who might think it's fun to kick the ball with the mouse in it! And I don't think the potential for injury is any greater than with an exercise wheel.

This tiny size works well for my pet mice before they are fully grown, but once grown they do better with the 7" size. In this small size a full-grown mouse will have her nose in the air and can't see where she's going. While it's true they have poor eyesight, especially older mice, they seem to see well enough to aim for certain targets and investigate.

Just brought home 2 dwarf hamsters and was very excited to use this run-about. Product looks good enough, but after securing the hatch with the hamster safely inside and turning the little girl loose, the hatch immediately popped open and off she ran, under the fridge.

I want you all to imagine what it must have been like to spend the better part of an hour coaxing an extremely timid 1-inch hamster out from behind a refrigerator.... never again.

In examining the ball, again (i.e. re-latching the hatch and rolling it over the floor, sans hamster) it looks like the simple vibration of rolling on hardwood floors allow the hatch to slip into "open" position and off it pops.

As with all hamster balls put a piece of tape or two on the lid when in use and it works great.

These are just the right size for Roborovskis, but the lids can come off pretty easily. We usually end up putting a little piece of tape on the lids when we put the hammies in. I have had the lids come off while the hamster was out and about, so be careful. This is our second set of these, and the lids on the first set did the same.
