Need a hamster ball!!!

Hi,

Can anyone please recommend a good durable hamster exercise ball please!! I have had Mavis 2 weeks and have broken 2 balls already - lol!! One my daughter dropped on carpet and smashed, then I was getting the 2nd one for Mavis to go into and dropped it on the kitchen floor. So is there any that will last a fall better..? Can't have her out for a good few days yet so could order it online.

Thanks.

The pennine hamster balls from Wilkinsons are quite good and robust so you could try one of those. Just be sure to supervise closely as any ball can pop open unexpectedly.

I agree. The Pennine one's from Wilko's are good, and they're fairly cheap too, so if they do break you can easily replace them.

Looks like a trip to Wilko's is on order then, think i'll buy 2!!! Will need one for the new baby we are going to keep, it'll be able to go in it eventually!!

Wilkos is a great place for hammy stuff. Harry hamster food is the cheapest you can find there and their bedding which is like chipped J cloth paper is soft, comfy and cozy. We buy shavings there too and the odd treats and toys.
