Kaytee 5" Clear Run-About Exercise Ball For Pet Dwarf Hamsters & Mice

My daughter uses it for her rat and she loves to run around in it. At first it was very big for her. She was still able to move in it but it wad difficult for her she grew into it and now practically runs all over the house playing bumper cars with the wall.

This little critter exercise ball is fantastic! It’s the perfect size for my hamster, giving them plenty of space to move around comfortably. The material is sturdy and well-ventilated, ensuring my pet stays safe and gets the exercise they need.The locking mechanism is secure but easy to open when it’s time to let them out. It’s also simple to clean and doesn’t scuff up floors when in use. My hamster seems to love it, and it’s been a great way to let them explore safely outside their cage.If you’re looking for a fun, safe exercise option for your small pet, this is a great choice. Highly recommend!

Good quality and durable. Got this for my brothers hamster to roll around the grass and it works great.

Worked for awhile but opening area got flimsy

super fun and they loved it!

Pros: Clear is much better the see through than the color tinted Kaytee exercise balls, has one opening, easy to clean, and bought it on sale. Cons: Thin, flimsy plastic, the lid pops off, and it doesn't seem durable. In comparison to the colored Mega Run-About 13" Exercise Balls I had in the past from a pet store, these clear ones are cheap, flimsy, and definitely not worth more than $20. The colored ones I had in the past, not sure if the design is still the same, were strong these clear ones are much thinner, bendable, and I'm sure it will crack and break much faster than the colored Kaytee mega exercise balls I had for over 8+ years. One nice thing in comparison to the color ones is that this design in the past was that there were two openings for your pet, this one has only one which is better but not by much since the stupid lid still falls off just like the other ones did if they were bump into any object. The solution to this problem was always to use a little bit of duct tape or large scotch tape over the lid. However, this exercise ball is great for my young chinchilla male who is a bit on the petite side and more gentle whereas my large chinchilla girl is more rough during playtime and would probably break this easily by running into a wall or chair. This was good enough for the price I bought it for but I wouldn't consider buying another one of these in the future should the one I have break within the next year. I mainly bought this ball because I wanted my pets to have a clearer view of their surroundings but the quality seems better for the color ones.

Very sturdy plastic and lock tight entrance thought it would not be big enough for my ferett but I was wrong perfect for her! I bought a similar item on Temu it was flimsy broke putting it together then her legs would go through the holes.This is perfect!

I got this for my pet Sherman, a rescue rat, when he was only 4 weeks old. He was only a few inches long at that time. Sherman is now 17 in long and still plays in this ball. It's a little cramped because he is so big now. He gets plenty of exercise outside of the ball. Yet he still like to go in it and has free choice. I set it snugly outside of one of his playpens and when he wants to go for a roll, he will walk in and out and let me know. Then I grab the top and just attach it and let him roam around the house until he's done. When he's done, he travels it back to his playpen entrance. Then I let him out.The ball is pretty sturdy within reason. The opening takes a bit of savvy to make sure all the parts are fitted together before letting the thing roll. It is easy to clean.Even though it is 13 in in diameter, it's a little small for a rat this size. I wish they made 15 or 16-in exercise balls! When Sherman plays in it, his tail seems to warp over to the side a little. It would be better if his tail could be straighter behind him. But since he only ambles around in it for a a couple of minutes, and not fast at all, it serves its purpose.He also has a 12 in diameter exercise wheel. But this ball allows him to roam around the house and be safe. It's worth it to see how He gets enrichment exercise and play time.
