Arrow's Grand Escape

[DwarfNome]

Arrow escaped her "Run About" ball today. Being the second time, I'm not going to use the Savic ones anymore. Last time she didn't get far, but this time she got all the way from the hall to where I was sitting in the living room. Luckily I saw her darting pass me, and herded her into my hands. I knwo it wasn't really a "grand" escape, but it turns out she's quite the escape artist

Any advice on escape-proof balls?

Duct tape.
Sheet steel.
Rivets.
Welding torch.
Bank vault.
Hamster sized handcuffs.
Other than combining all of the above theres no such thing as 'escape proof' for our fuzzy little Houdini's, and even then, keep a close eye on them.

Naughty Arrow! ;D
This is why i stopped using balls lol, one jammed (with mimi inside -.-), one split in half and broke, and the other one wouldnt shut! >.<
But masking tape is good to keep them shut if you dont use it already

I'll try the masking/duct tape over the opening! I'll probably try some other kinds of balls aswell They'll probably always find a way to get out from our proofing xD But Arrow's not a big fan of her playbin so >.>

Yeah, there is no escape proof tbh, mine have neverbroke (i dont use balls anymore) but i always used tape the part where it connected and the tops shut, just to make sure

For my first hamster I used to cover the ball in parcel tape to keep her in Its the best way really
Some hamsters are just incredibly good at finding techniques to get it open!

Hee, mischievous little madam. I think the masking tape is a good idea.

I used to use masking tape back in the days when I put my hams in exercise balls but I stopped using them and playtime was moved into the bath....with no water in it of course They all prefer this to playing in the ball.
