Questions
Is this big enough for a full-size female dumbbell rack?
What is the size diameter of? 11.5? I have 2 balls a smaller one & a big one. Not sure how to measure what size to get my Gerbils. The small one is hard for them to use so I tried to measure the larger one the circumfrence(around the sphere is 21.5).
- Hey there! The diameter of the 11.5"’ runabout ball is 11.5” the size IS the diameter on these.
Helpful?
would this ball be good for two male rats?
- While it certainly is large enough for two male rats, it really depends on the rats. Mine didn't like it at all and pooped every time I tried so I repurposed it into another hide space. Free roam in a "safe" area is much better.

Do you have exercise balls for ferrets too?what size?
- Actually, we don't recommend our Run-About balls for ferrets due to the curvature of their spines. An alternative for your ferret could be our Flex-E-Fun-Nel!

Can i put this in the dishwasher?
- Hi there! We recommend hand washing the Run-About Ball.

what type of plastic? or plastics?
- Its a clear hard plastic similar to the one used to make small animal carriers and hamster tunnels.

Would this be good for a Syrian hamster? From research I’ve been doing, “ the bigger the better” and that goes for wheels too
- No animal should go in an "excersize" ball. Hamster62, if you are the "Hamster Whisperer", you should know that. Normally, the running that they are doing inside the ball is a fear reaction. Hamsters and mice like to sniff their surroundings, as they don't have very good eyesight but like to explore. Forcing them into a plastic bubble robs them of that. Plus, they cannot (or will have difficulty) hiding, which is something that they naturally need to do as prey animals. The best thing you can do for them is to get them a playpen or do supervised free roam time. My mice come when called, so I can let them out in an enclosed area and call them back when it's time to go back to their cage. You can voice-train your hamster by sitting in an enclosed room (bathrooms are preferred as they generally do not have a lot of clutter, but any tidy room will do). Bring treats. Call your hamster (most animals already at least somewhat know their names, so this isn't as hard as you think,) and produce the treat. Repeat until your hamster will come to you WITHOUT needing a reward (treat). Ta-da! Now you can let your hamster free roam whenever!

how big of a ball would I need for my Syrian?
- Actually the smallest you could get them is 8” 5 is way too small!! The bigger the ball or wheel, the more the hamster will feel like it’s running which means no back issues!
Helpful?
Does this size ball still work with the Hamtrac Exercise Loop?
- Yes,sizes are adjustable.

So I recently posted a pic of my hamsters new set up. People said that CritterTrail is too small for her. She has two cages and then tubes connecting them. She runs in her ball for 4 hrs a day with a break each hour for water and food. Should I make her a bin cage or keep the CritterTrails cage?
for a russian dwarf hamster, 7 weeks old, Dimensions: 13.500 inches H x 20.125 inches W x 33.000 inches L, is this enough ventilation? the holes are at the top of the container, 4"x24"
I am getting a hedgehog and have been told to get a small enclosed space to put in the cage for sleeping. Recommendations???
My kitten just took a bouncy ball hit to the eye and her pupil almost disappeared. Getting bigger now but slow to react to light.
Guinea 62 days preggers and running around in circles after i cleaned her cage. Normal?
She always sleeping or out of sight . I rarely see her out and when I do it’s been early in the mornings or I’ll hear her on her wheel a few minutes at night.. she lives in a 40 gallon breeder tank that’s got great venalation and chew toys,treats,sand bath, etc everything she could ever want!. Any idea why she isn’t very active? Any way I can help her to be more active?
What is some bird cage recommendation for 2 parakeet at the lowest price available, or if by any chance a free unwanted bird cage at nyc., Thank you
SO i am thinking about getting a leopard gecko, but i am not spending a ridiculous amount of money on a cage so i am using a plastic laundrey hamper that seems about maybe 10 gallons and i am setting up little hiddy spots and stuff but i dont know wha tbeedding i should use and how much light they need please hep :)
My bloodhound is nine years of age. This ball doesn’t seem to bother him at all. It’s soft, squishy like. But it is growing as the weeks go by. Im concerned for my baby. When I moved it there seemed to be a tiny bit of blood but even himself leaves it alone as if it’s not there. The growing is making me scared. Thank you
Hi, I have two hamsters, male. They are both new and they fight a lot so I decided to separate them. One on them has a wheel in the cage and the other does not. I have read that hamsters need a wheel at night because they are nocturnal animals. Is it okay if I let my hamster run in the ball in the evening for a few hours instead of getting a new cage?.
Would extra small goggles work for a havenes puppy, and would these last through adulthood?
My 8 months old standard poodle swallowed a big chunk of chucky ball surface (orange fiber kind) 48 hours ago. She pooped this morning partial of it out, how do I help her to pass the whole object as I am sure there is still some in her belly now. Thanks so much for your kind advice.
