Bought for my Syrian hamsters.
4 Stars
Bought for my Syrian hamsters.
I was looking for a ball the size of their wheel. Couldn't find one. Have the 11.5 inch ones. Decided to see how a 13 inch would be.This is her first time in it. The big one is MUCH more clear than the other sizes. (We also have 2 robo hams and they have their own balls).With her previous ball she figured out how to turn it before smacking something. I'm pretty confident she will figure this one out too.I do wish I could find a 12 -12.5 inch one though.The ball itself seems okay once you gave it together right. You have to really pay attention to every clamp and also the spaces between. The spaces between the clamps can be warped looking until you get it right. So make sure it is right all the way around. If not, I'm guessing their little beans will go through the crack and hurt them pretty bad
Thank you for your feedback

4.0 out of 5 stars Good size for Syrian, might not last long
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2023
I do believe this is the right size for a Syrian. We got a 7” ball from Walmart and you could see the hamster arching it’s back the whole time and could even suspend itself at the midpoint. It took just a few minutes to get used to driving the big ball and the hamster is cruisin. It can get more speed using this ball, so things that it couldn’t get over before, like cords and rugs, can easily pass over now.

This was our second ball. First ball arrived cracked and taped but very quickly we were sent a replacement. As I put the second ball together, I realized this is poorly designed with not enough plastic between the air holes and the edge, so very easily cracked if dropped or anything. I think it’ll hold up to the hamster, but we will see about the 7 year old. When you are assembling you have to be sure the very weak plastic prongs that are injected don’t get bent or warped. One of them almost had to be broke off to get in but it did go in and the thing is together now.

Reviewed in Brazil on July 12, 2023
A bolinha é linda e do jeito que eu queria ... enorme porém pelo preço eu achei um descaso da Amazon. A bolinha é acrílica e muito delicada mas veio sem proteção nenhuma na caixa .. veio arranhada e com um rachão enorme por pancada durante o transporte!
