Lee's Kritter Krawler Mini Exercise Ball, 5-Inch, Plastic, Clear

Now my leopard gecko and goldendoodles can be together

Ordered this item for my small hamster. She has enjoyed rolling around the house many hours since purchasing this item. Will definitely order in the future.

I bought this for a pocket mouse I originally found in my back yard (it's about 3/4 the size of a golf ball and my cats were eyeing it up so I didn't just trap the poor thing) and it fit nicely inside though unless the mouse ran itself about halfway up the side it couldn't roll it so maybe I needed an even smaller than mini one? Micro? Anyway, it didn't take long for it to start looking really dirty from rolling around on a painted concrete floor, my mouse couldn't possibly even push itself up onto a rug without help from some friendly cats giving him a "gentle push". Went to wash it and found after it dried it still looked dirty. Tried letting it soak and it still looked cloudy/dirty. I eventually realized that after only a handful of uses by a tiny mouse on a smooth floor it was scuffed like crazy both inside and out. Chances are the mouse couldn't see out of it to where it was even going which would explain why it later started to simply roll for a bit then would just sit there until I picked him up. Eventually the mouse died and I upgraded to some female Rex rats from a breeder. Got them as soon as they were old enough to be able to fend for themselves and they were clearly even at that few week old point too big for this thing. It's recommended not to even use balls like this for rats at all (or even wheels, particularly wire ones) and I definitely don't recommend this one in particular as it will bend their spine wrong and their toes and tail are longer than mice making it much more possible to pinch and sever bits. One suggestion I would make is to have the ball able to separate at the middle in addition to/instead of the tiny porthole at the end of it. It was a pain even getting my tiny mouse in and out of it and led to more than one escape and chase attempt.

I bought this for my dwarf hamster and it is a perfect size. She loves running around in it throughout the house.I will say it is not designed for easy cleaning since hamster to pee and poop while in the ball. My only recommendation is run it under hot water to clean and once you are done, leave it somewhere to air dry. I did clean my outside because I don't like using my sink to clean it, but I also added a little of dish soap that doesn't have harmful chemicals for the hamster, and it did the job.

Let Twix our hamster out to play for the first time in his new ball, only lasted 10 minutes to find out he escaped and has been stuck in the wall in our laundry room for 4 hours now!

I ordered 2 balls (pictured) for my kids’ Syrian Teddy Bear Hammie’s. These 2 make 6 balls I’ve ordered for our 4 Hammies (we also have 2 Robos) from Amazon in the last 2 months and I’ve had a problem with every order! One of these two balls has a lid that won’t click closed (same problem w/a previous order), which means one good bump into something could cause the lid to fall off! I just took a lid from an old ball and replaced it (see 1 photo has a green lid) I’m just frustrated about my Hammie items I’ve ordered lately. These balls are cheaply made but DEFINITELY not cheaply priced!

I haven’t had any issues with this hamster ball. I have a Roborovski hamster about the size of a golf ball and she loves being in the ball and rolling around the house. I do use masking tape to cover the hatch because other reviews said that the cover could pop off. I don’t want to take any chances with my hamster getting free, as I have 2 small dogs. Personally, I think this ball is a great size for my tiny Robo hamster & good quality for the price.

We had purchased a larger ball at a local pet store but my daughter's little dwarf hamster seemed to struggle with getting it going and then keeping it going without being thrown up the wall. It was entertaining to watch but, I'm sure, not for her. This smaller ball is the perfect size and she really seems to love it! She will spend an hour or two at a time running around our home in this thing, chasing the kids, bumping the dog. It's awesome. Very easy to clean between uses. Highly recommend!
