Invest in a playpen.Do not use a ball,they offer way less stimulation and cost far more than a playpen and really they aren't worth buying.

Definitely make sure you have a good quality mix and also make sure that you're feeding the healthiest treats possible.Things like vegetables,occasional extra seeds and nuts,certain fruit,and some animal protein are very good for hamsters but yogurt drops and the majority of store bought treats are not very healthy due to added sugars,artificial flavors and colors,unnecessary chemicals,etc.

Aside from a good mix and a playpen and healthy treats,provide as much extra stimulation as you can inside the cage.This includes tunnels,climbing toys,different levels within the cage,and more.These are good for overall physical health as well as mental health!
