 My hamster loves her Hamster Ball!Nov 21, 2008
By J. Green
"mountaintop shadow"
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.

Some mice love thisJan 02, 2009
By erica
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.

 Good qualityFeb 22, 2010

As with all hamster balls put a piece of tape or two on the lid when in use and it works great.
Seems fine for dwarf hamsterFeb 16, 2012
By Jenjen
My dwarf hamster really likes this ball. I haven't had an issue yet with the top popping off but I'll probably put a piece of tape on it just to be safe after reading other people's reviews. My floor is carpeted, and he doesn't really pick up tooooo much speed since there's a lot of furniture to maneuver around so it's not like he's slamming into walls. I usually sit on the floor while he explores, and he'll make the occasional trip back to me to look at me. It's a cheap, plastic ball any way, and it entertains my hamster so I can't complain.
As for the chew toys on the inside, I was weary of giving them to my hamster since I couldn't find any reviews on them so I can't comment on those. I just gave it a 4 star since the packaging didn't give any info on the chew toys.
