Can this exercise ball be used for a baby turtle?
Answer by ChewyApr 11, 2019
An exercise ball should not be used for turtles.

Is this a good size for a small rat
Answer by ChewyMay 27, 2020
The manufacturer recommends using the 11½ inch ball for juvenile rats and small breeds, and the 13 inch ball for adult and large rats.

How does it attach to the cage
Answer by ChewyApr 11, 2019
The exercise ball does not attach to a cage. It allows your pet to explore any open space on the floor. We recommend only using this while under supervision.

The 11.5 inch and the 13 inch exercise ball are suitable for hedgehogs and rats.

Perfect for my little critters!!

I bought 2 of these for my African Pygmy Squirrels- they are the perfect size and allow my critters to explore without me getting worried that they will get lost or fear of them being a snack of my mini schnauzers.

Broke when put together

Super cute little ball for our tiny baby hampster, however the pieces that connect the two halves together broke off when we put it together.

Not for chinchillas

Please don’t purchase this for your chinchilla. It can overheat and die very quickly from heat exhaustion.

DONT BUY THIS

i have never bought this item before. But from what I know its bad. The holes for breathing don’t give enough air. Your pets toes can get stuck in the toes and break them. They can bump into things giving them trauma. And most of all its not a good product. hamsters are not toys. They need 6 inches of bedding. A cage minimum is 450 by 450. Not a critter trail. Please research before buying a hamster. Don’t use this item unless its a extra hideout in there environment. Btw the photo isn’t mine*

ball for hamster

Ball has a poor design. When you put it together one side goes in and the other pops out.

DangerousDoNotUse

Please do not use exercise balls, there are so many dangers with them like lack of ventilation and risk of hamster toes getting caught in the slits and getting broken. And it doesn’t provide your hamster any enrichment, it clouds their vision, they can’t smell, they can’t use their whiskers, and they can’t feel things on the ground. Play pens filled with toys and sometimes healthy treats for the hamster to find are so much more enriching.

do not buy these for pets

Do your research on balls like this. They’re not good for pets, please just look on any reputable vet site out there and you’ll see why these aren’t recommended. The fact that chewy even sells these is horrible. Chewy is supposed to be a good source of products for all different animals, so why are they selling something that is known to be not recommended by vets?
