As the others have said, thankfully no real damage was done but if it was mine, I would ditch the ball. Hamsters don`t need them, they can be placed in a storage box or a solid-sided play pen when out of their cage which is safer and much more natural for them. Balls are a convenience even if they are supposed to be `fun`. I suspect they are more fun for the owner than they are for the hamster. x
