Well... At least the hedgehog likes it!

We're using the 12 inch version. The wheel wobbles a bit and had to be both screwed into the cage wall AND needed the stand underneath to keep it reasonable stable.. And it still wobbles. There's nothing "whisper quiet" about it its pretty loud not as bad as metal wheels but pretty close. It's also very difficult to detach for cleaning. The only good thing about it is how much my little hedgie loves it.. All night long on that loud wheel.More detail ...

My hamster loves her Hamster Ball!

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.More detail ...
