Rats are active animals that need regular exercise. A wheel gives them a way to burn energy, especially when they can't roam free. Just make sure it's large enough to prevent back arching!
For adult rats, look for wheels at least 11-12 inches in diameter. Anything smaller can cause spine problems as they run. The larger the wheel, the more comfortable it is for your rat's natural running position.
While not essential, exercise balls can provide a safe way for rats to explore outside their cage. However, many rat owners prefer supervised free-roaming time instead, as balls can be stressful for some rats.
If using an exercise ball, choose one at least 11-13 inches in diameter. Smaller balls force rats into unnatural positions. Always supervise ball time and limit sessions to 10-15 minutes to prevent overheating.
