 DO NOT BUY FOR A GUINEA PIG!!!Dec 19, 2009
By dave

As others have said, do not buy this for a guinea pig! Their spines do not bend this way! You will do permanent damage to your piggie with something like this! It may be fine for other pets, but not for piggies!

SHAME ON AMAZON FOR MARKETING THIS FOR PIGGIES!!Jul 29, 2010
By XIANSWER
You will harm your guinea if you buy this for them. They are not a gerbil or hamster and their backs are not made for this. i can't believe AMAZON is marketing this ball for them. Any pet store who knows anything about these animals will tell you not to purchase a ball for them. I love amazon, but they are putting guinea pigs at risk by leaving this on their site. SHAME ON THEM!! You can see the packaging clearly has a RAT on it, not a guinea!!

BEWARE!Jul 19, 2010
By B.K.
I agree with every one of the one star reviewers! Guinea Pigs have very fragile spines that cannot flex in that way! This can damage your piggies feet, spine, and even break his spine! Plus they crash into things and Guinea Pigs can get VERY easily overheated and die! I cannot believe they would sell this product!
Guinea Pigs are not like hamsters, just put your piggie down in a safe room free of wires and places he can get stuck. He will wander around and love it! He won't run away like a hamster. This toy teases the. If you must do something with them while you clean their cage put them in a large no-top container. This is not good for their poor little legs! How would you like living in a cage, and then you finally get to explore, but you're in this this that's unstable, has a rounded surface and confuses you.
It's kind of like shape ups. Great shoes but imagine walk on those that are five feet tall. No control! That's how those poor piggies feel! They get scared and overwhelmed easily!
If you love your piggie, don't buy this!!!

Guinea pigs should NEVER be put into an exercise ball!Apr 19, 2010
By M. Rainwater
Guinea pigs should not EVER be put into an exercise ball. This causes spinal injury and can be easily avoided. Also they won't move in one anyway because it hurts them. Please do not put your piggies in a ball. To give them exercise, put them into a play pen of some kind and let them run around on a flat surface. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask a vet.

NEVER BUY THERE FOR GUINEA PIGS!!!Dec 01, 2010
By Guinea Pig Lover
Guinea pigs (or chinchillas!!!) should NEVER be put into exercise balls or wheels of ANY kind! It can severely injure their spines because guinea pigs back's don't bend back and end up snapping, which leads to death!
Besides that, their little feet get stuck in the ventilation holes and can snap!
