Hamster ball size?

[Lellibo]

I'm gathering bits for when i get my hamster now and was just wondering this.Am i right in thinkin that a Syrian would want a 7-8" ball? It's only going to be for short periods and when i'm cleaning the cage as my partner doesn't like hamster balls . Any suggestions most appreciated.

Yes that sounds about right. The Pennine hamsters balls tend to be the most secure ones.

One of my Syrians has a medium sized ball...the other has a rat sized ball. She's one hell of a hefty Hamster.

I bought one for my syrian and it was simply labelled "large". It's approx 7 inches in diameter and he has plenty of room in there. He seems to love it and takes off like a rocket around the living room while I'm cleaning his cage.
