To be honest, I don't think this is cruel at all. It's actually a little silly, reading all of these comments. If the hamster didn't like it, it wouldn't crawl back in it. Hamsters aren't stupid. Like when a hamster falls off the second floor of it's cage, often the hamster never goes up to the second floor again because it's scared of falling again. That's what happened to mine and it's not like that with it's exercise ball. She seems to love it.
all the hamsters I've had had no problems running in the ball, but I've also seen them just chilling and cleaning themselves in the ball. I also noticed that they would run toward where their food is haha.
My hamster Bobby just sits in the ball... Last night I took him out and put him in the ball, I thought he went to sleep in there. I have to teach him to move around. Did your hamster start moving around on its own?
what i do is hold the open ball to the door of the cage and if my Cookie climbs inside, i know she wants to be in the ball. i always watch her to make sure she doesn't go poo or pee while in the ball, otherwise ill take her out. i never let her stay in there longer than 10 minutes and if she stops running or appears tired i put her back in her cage. i dont see how any of this is inhumane?? its better than her being stuck in that cage for the rest of her life, which seems more inhumane to me.
@crazitaco They climb inside because it's instinctive to them to crawl into caves, they're burrowing animals. That does not mean she enjoys being in the ball. Hamsters rely on their sense of smell, hearing and touch to find their way around. They have poor eyesight and in a ball their vision is even worse. Inside all they can touch and smell is the ball and all sights, smells and sounds are distorted by the ball. It's confusing and frightening to them.
Also, when they run into furniture and walls, it's like being in a car accident is for us. Their natural instinct is to back up or run away, then they hit something else. Those balls are poorly ventilated and the animals get overheated during exercise. The air vents that are there can cause crippling injuries to their toes and feet, including sprains, breaks and amputations. Provide a safe way for your hamster to explore and exercise.
@58Darklife Just because its made for hamsters to be put in doesn't mean its not cruel. Just like how leashes can be cruel in other ways too if you keep a dog on a leash, outside, in the cold. It all depends on whether the hamster wants to be in the ball or not. This hamster seems to want to be in there. I'm not sure but I agree that all these people are over-reacting.
Hiya :) Where is the best place to buy a dwarf Hamster? How much are they, i am allowed one if they are under £20, ( Not including all the stuff like food, cage e.c.t) . And Where do u get the ball? And do they bite?
weell at petsmart they r about 20 ish..... the best place is to buy them is petsmart.. i just got a dwarf hamster from there. and they dont bite much.. only if they are really scared.
@MsSHulaGirl i got mine from a ma and pa shop and there all under 20 bucks so dont worry.. u can get the ball from anypet store 2! if they dont sell basic stuff like that thn dont shop there....
hamster like to eat cuddle run and sleep, thats what they like to do, the ball lets them run and explore without the possibilty of them being stepped on, getting into small cracks or stepping in/on anything sharp or sticky, hence the ball is a lovly thing for those adorable creatures,
putting it in a hamster ball isnt cruel. my mom thinks putting it in a sock is cruel but a ball? i highly disagree that its cruel. my hamster loves to run around in its ball.
wots da best thing to feed dem if dey dnt eat da haster food u got dem part from da nuts in the hamster food.. also wots da best way to keep dem healthy :)
You should really learn how to ignore these people. Hamster balls are fine, as long as it's in reason. After 10 or 15 minutes, take the hamster out of the ball, maybe even sooner. It's not "ANIMAL CRUELTY" as long as in addition to the hamster ball, you let him run around freely with your supervision. Trust me- I've had a hamster before and I have and have had many gerbils.
Those balls are really bad I feel sorry for the hamster. They cant chose when they want to stop running so it is really cruel I can't understand what people find funny with it.
to be honest, at first i thought it was cute they are running in it. then ppl start saying its cruel and i take that as a considerations. but often times i find the hamster just chilling, grooming itselft in it.
also, i dont really put it in it anymore except the time i gota take it out so i can clean the cage.
@Drusila fuck you if you cared about them you would get a wheel, so they can run around where they want without getting lost and they can stop it if they want
hamster ball is not that too bad for hamster. only IF the hamster take too long in the ball about 20min-above the hamster could be stress. hehehe... so feel playing with your hamster with sort period of time. ^_^ i like your hamster... soooo cute. ^_^
many ppl are saying its bad to put them in a ball too. but if its really that dangerous i think animal experts would have banned it already. but neways, i rarely put it in the ball ne more coz its getting old lol
does anyone know if 30 euro would be enough for hamster toys and stuff not including bowl water bottle and ball and food? ps im getting hamster on saturday 29th of november
One of our hamsters is really good at steering. The other one, not so much, but they really do like to run into stuff because the one who is good an steering sometimes decides to run into stuff anyway.
omg throw the ball away.... he hasnt any way to escape and is in panic because he has to run the whole time..... try to understand before you do that...
yeahh i thought about it before. that's why i never let my hamster run for too long. coz i got 2 hamsters but only 1 wheel, so sometimes i just want the other to run too

I don't know the prices at your place, and, you can find a ball in pet stores, sometimes you can buy them with the hamster(s).
And yea the DO bite, but once you tame them they're quite fun and cuddly and cute :).
