- Yes
Helpful?

- I would say get the medium size
Helpful?

Would this work for a adult male rat
- I wouldn’t use it for them to run around in because of the size, but I bought this size and hung it in my cage with the lid off, and my rats would use it to cuddle.
Helpful?
How to open it in half for cleaning?
- The lid is as far as the ball will open. Trying to disassemble it will break the plastic pins and render it useless. Just reach your hand in with a scrub brush to clean the inside.

- Hi there! Thank you for your question. We'd recommend our 5" Run-About Ball.

Can a fancy bear hamster use this?
- Too little for a fancy bear hamster.

Are this hamster balls good for Syrian hamster.
- Exercise balls are not good for all rodents. It is best to use them as hidey houses instead and allow them to put their bedding in it and burrow in it. If you choose to use an exercise ball it can cause their backs arch hurting them as well as, they make them feel confined in a small space. Unlike we are led to believe hamsters like at least 425 square feet of space and they love to exercise and run around. I have had at least almost five Syrian hamsters in the last 7 years and have learned so much such as not keeping them in small cages, not letting them use exercise wheels and more. If it is possible please look up the hamster forum and it will provide you with all the answers that you need to best care for your Syrian hamster by making them comfortable and happy throughout there lives.

I would to know can this ball be used for my Guinea pig around the apt for exercise? or should i take him outside on a leash?
- I'm so glad that someone from Kaytee said that these balls are NOT recommended for guinea pigs. The leash isn't either. Guinea pig spines are very delicate and if they have their back bent it could cause a lot of injuries including breaking their back. They are great for hamsters and gerbils, just not for piggies.

Can a roboraski fit in here
- Yes, it will fit. Another option is the 5" size if your hamster is small.

If my hamster runs around in a 7 inch ball is a 6.5 inch wheel to small for her? She fits just right in her ball since she is a bigger hamster (teddy bear) so I worry that if I order a smaller wheel she won't fit
How to make my gerbil exercise? I got two, one like to run but other don't like. And is exercise ball recommended? How often to change the house setup?
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?
So before I got an exercise ball for my hedgie Noel, I asked a vet on here. I’ve had it for months but I’ve probably only put her in it like 5 times. Yesterday I posted a picture of her in it on a pet social media (zoopix) and someone told me that small pets shouldn’t be in it for 3 reasons— 1. Because their feet can slip through 2. Because of poor ventilation. 3. Because it scares them. Is that true? I mean I know that there are risks but should I not be putting her in it?
Is it better for my one eyed hamster to have a cage that is 527 sq. in. rather than a much bigger cage? Are there any precautions I should take to ensure a better life for him? Thanks so much!
I am getting a hedgehog and have been told to get a small enclosed space to put in the cage for sleeping. Recommendations???
Our hamster gets very jumpy in her cage and has been bar biting a little bit, she has a large cage with two wheels and goes in her exercise ball 4-5 times a week. She is better while handling but flinches in her cage, especially after it being cleaned. She also chatters her teeth a lot. Would any aroma help her feel more safe and relaxed?
Trying to find a small pet that can roam around a room safely probably not a ferret because I have a hamster in the same room could a guinea pig or rabbit be Free roamed in the room or is there any other pets that could thank you
This is Dexter, my gorgeous 7 year old rescued hound, & his 4 year old ball. He loves his ball & can find it anywhere we hide it in the house or yard. 2nd picture is his new ball. It squeaks like his old ball & smells like bacon. He seemed to like new ball & we played inside for a couple hours off & on. When I took him outside & threw it he ran to the ball sniffed it &walked away. The only ball he brings is the old one. What should I do? Thanx. Carolyn.
Parameters for being outside for a 7/8 yt? old rescue beagle.. She prefers to be out. Had an igloo dog house.
We found a small ball by his area by his butt but can’t seem to figure out what it is so we could treat it
I was wondering if it’s normal for my hamster to poop in her ball? It’s usually more than 5-10 pieces of poop. The poop isn’t soft or strange and it’s regular hamster poop consistency.
