5" Clear Run-About Exercise Ball For Pet Dwarf Hamsters & Mice

Bought the small glow in the dark ball for my daughter's hampster. Perfect size, and is very visible at night, as long as its left out in the light during the day. Closes security, dont have to work about rodents getting out. Good quality and highly recommend.

We've had this exercise ball for a year now. I've read plenty of negative reviews that state that these are scary and not safe for rats but my rats love this thing. They literally jump into it when we bring it over to their cage. We have 6 girls and when we hold the ball to their open cage door they all try climbing in the ball together (we don't let them, of course). They love the freedom of roaming outside the cage. One of my girls would walk in the ball over to our screen door and just sit there and sniff the fresh air. Some of the other girls love to run and zip all over our house. You do have to keep an eye on them while they are in the ball though. The plastic on ours cracked after about 6 months of use so I'm not sure its the greatest quality but they seem to really enjoy it anyways. We don't leave them in the ball for very long either. 15-20 minutes is more than enough time. I like that this one is clear. It just seems like clear would be easier to see through than a colored one. Who knows though. Overall I would recommend using this for pet rats. If your rat doesn't like it, then don't use it but some seem to really enjoy it and it's good exercise. I try to make my reviews engaging and useful.

This is perfect for my hedgehog! He is about a yr old and he loves this thing. Goes all over the place with it. He does pee in it though so be careful and never leave them unattended. I clean the wheel after each use by rinsing in the sink and thoroughly air drying.

So far this is a very good product. My dwarf hamster enjoys it thoroughly, and I feel confident that she is safe whilst using it. I was conflicted about whether I should get her a ball, but now I'm glad I did. There is a very serious debate on whether or not hamster balls are good for hamsters. Now that I have bought one for my Russian dwarf hamster, I have come to the conclusion that it differs with each individual hamster. Some hamsters are not comfortable in them and begin to panic, but hamsters like my little lady adore the ball and look forward to their roll-about time. It is also up to the hamster owner to be smart and responsible. 1. Get the correct size (this seven-inch one is good for my dwarf hamster. Syrians need larger ones, such as with the wheels), and try to get a clear one so they can see as well as possible. 2. Get one with a lid that stays on well. The lid on this particular ball is very good at staying on. In fact, it was a bit difficult to open and close it at first. 3. Another responsibility of the owner is to make sure your hamster doesn't get into trouble (drop down stairs, get stuck in tight spots, make a mess in the ball and run through it, etc.). 4. Make sure to limit your hamster's play time in the ball to around ten or fifteen minutes, because the ventilation is not good enough for more time than that. When you first introduce them to the ball, start with only a minute or so and pick up the ball and open the lid to see if they want to get out for a while and maybe try some more later. It is difficult to tell if a hamster is trying to escape a ball, because no matter what they do it just rolls around the room and looks like they're using it as it's intended, so checking in on them is always important. 5. Also make sure your hamster is willing to get in the ball on their own. If they do not want to get in, then you mustn't force them. Try a playpen or a relatively empty and safe room for them to roam if they do not like the ball. 6. Make sure to clean the ball with warm water and baby soap (or a mixture of bleach and water, then the soapy water) before letting your hamster use it, and then wash it regularly after that. Sorry that turned more into a hamster lesson than a review, but it is very important to keep your pets safe and happy at all times, and many people (including pet stores) do not know some vital information. I have given this item four stars. I might have given it five if it hadn't arrived with scuffs all over it and impossible to remove tape over the lid.

My hamster loves this ball. This is the second ball I’ve gotten. I had another hamster a few years ago who loved it and I decided to try with my new hamster and yes it’s a success

Pros: Clear is much better the see through than the color tinted Kaytee exercise balls, has one opening, easy to clean, and bought it on sale. Cons: Thin, flimsy plastic, the lid pops off, and it doesn't seem durable. In comparison to the colored Mega Run-About 13" Exercise Balls I had in the past from a pet store, these clear ones are cheap, flimsy, and definitely not worth more than $20. The colored ones I had in the past, not sure if the design is still the same, were strong these clear ones are much thinner, bendable, and I'm sure it will crack and break much faster than the colored Kaytee mega exercise balls I had for over 8+ years. One nice thing in comparison to the color ones is that this design in the past was that there were two openings for your pet, this one has only one which is better but not by much since the stupid lid still falls off just like the other ones did if they were bump into any object. The solution to this problem was always to use a little bit of duct tape or large scotch tape over the lid. However, this exercise ball is great for my young chinchilla male who is a bit on the petite side and more gentle whereas my large chinchilla girl is more rough during playtime and would probably break this easily by running into a wall or chair. This was good enough for the price I bought it for but I wouldn't consider buying another one of these in the future should the one I have break within the next year. I mainly bought this ball because I wanted my pets to have a clearer view of their surroundings but the quality seems better for the color ones.

Great product. I got the wrong size, but it was quiet, and there were no sharp parts on the ball. Everything help up together, and it was easy to take apart and clean.

Una vez montada no puede desmontarse, no me gustó esto ya que ocupa mucho sitio y luego no puedes guardarla si no es entera.

Not very chinchilla friendly. Ball gets quite humid and hot fast. Ball came on time and was what I​ was expecting. Useful for maybe 15-20 mins. My 3 chins don't like them.

As a proud owner of a curious hamster, finding ways to keep him active and entertained is always a priority. This is an absolute game-changer and he loves it! Firstly, the packaging was impeccable.

The 17.8 cm diameter is just perfect for my hamster, providing enough space for him to roam freely without feeling cramped. Quality-wise, I couldn't ask for more. The sturdy construction gives me peace of mind, knowing that my sweet Benny is secure while he explores his surroundings. The smooth, durable plastic ensures that the ball glides effortlessly, providing hours of fun for my furry friend. In terms of value for money, this product exceeds expectations. Not only does it provide essential exercise for my hamster, but it also offers great durability, ensuring that it will last for many play sessions to come.

If you're a small pet owner looking for a quality, value-for-money solution, look no further than this fantastic product!

Muy buena calidad en sus acabados, resiste golpes, que tu roedor pueda darle por la casa en su paseo. La única pega es que es un poco difícil para limpiarla
