I've never been overalls convinced on balls either. Sand baths 100% - one day he will find it and that will be that. But balls I've never been sure whether they love or hate them. My logic is that they can get plenty of exercise and fun without one and there are a billion alternatives, and more importantly, they will never miss it if it isn't there. Because I can't really stand the idea that I am forcing my ham into a situation that may potentially exhilarate or terrify them I generally avoid. Having said that, I have bought three balls, one for each of my babies. But they just gather dust to be honest. Much better to collect loo roll tubes and throw them all in the bath and let fluffy-bum lose to explore
