Default Re: Hamster balls

Like Fluffagrams said, I don’t use a ball at all for my Chinese hams or when I had a robo. I personally do have one for the Syrians I have had. Cleo seemed to mostly enjoy it, pip not really having any of it. But it’s up to them if they’ve got in and they’re never in it for long before they’re offered a drink or the chance to get out. Any signs they’re not enjoying and back in the cage. I have cats and although the cats don’t go in the hamster room, I’m a bit conscious that occasionally the cats have managed to open the door so I’m happier to use the ball than an open play pen for that reason. I tape the lid on so no unexpected surprises. But this is just what works for me and like I said, I let the hamsters dictate the terms as best as I can tell.
