Peanuts new ball

shugt · 07-31-2010, 03:23 PM

Got him a new ball today and he was in it tonight for the first time, running around mad. How long is he supposed to be in the ball, and is putting him in this ok? Info would be helpful.

20 minutes is usually fine, my hamsters love the ball

Its best to give them breaks inbetween for water,food and potty.
But yh 20 minutes its normally best and if you feel he wants more time then you can put him back in again after

I do the same around 20mins, unless she runs under the bed and I cant get her lol then I wait for her to reappear. You can pop them back in there cage for 10-15mins for refreshment and if they are still manic they can go back in the ball for another 20mins

Mikey is always ravenous after 15 minutes of being in his ball!

They love exploring! I think he will absolutely love the ball. Be careful! Sometimes they hide.

i give mine about 20 mins at a time but i have the balls on a stand so they just stay in one place instead of crashing in to everything!

I bring my Peanut out every other day, for ten mins, then i little break in 'the box', i would let her run round more but she does get kinda stressed.

When she isn't going to be put in 'the box' it let her roll around until she won't budge, but i'm training her to nudge me when she get's tired.
