Benefits of exercise balls:

1. Safe movement: The ball protects hamsters and small rodents from hazards such as contact with other animals or an unwanted escape.
2. Physical activity: Running supports health, helps maintain an ideal weight and prevents obesity.
3. Fun: Gives rodents a fun way to explore new surroundings.
4. Mental stimulation: New surroundings and moving around in the ball help keep your pet active and engaged.

How to choose the right ball?

• Size: Choose a ball that matches your pet's size. Smaller balls (15–20 cm) suit hamsters, while larger rodents such as gerbils need a bigger diameter (20–25 cm).
• Material: The ball should be made from sturdy but lightweight plastic that's non-toxic and easy to clean.
• Ventilation holes: The ball needs enough ventilation holes to ensure a supply of fresh air while it's in use.

Safety recommendations:

1. Time in use: Limit time in the ball to 15–20 minutes to avoid overexertion or stress.
2. Flooring: Use the ball on a smooth surface where there's no risk of it getting stuck or tipping over.
3. Supervision: Never leave your pet in the ball unsupervised.

Exercise balls for hamsters and small rodents are a fun and useful accessory that supports their wellbeing and health. Used correctly, they'll become one of your pet's favourite activities!
