Broken

The plastic was cracked when I received it. Was shipped with a 50lb bag of duck food and it was sitting on top of the ball. Also wouldn’t close together.

I would not recommend this product for anyone to use for their little fur baby. This product is poorly made. My fur baby can’t even get it to roll.

To open this little hamster ball we have to use pliers. Ours is impossible to turn with fingers. I don't know if it's like this on all of them or we are just unlucky,

Do a little bit of research online and you will see these hamster balls are not safe. Here’s why: hamsters toes can and will caught in the “vent” holes causing sprains or breaks. The hamster can not stop there momentum thus crashing into objects. The vent holes are inadequate for allowing the hamster breathe properly. The vision of hamsters is only about 2-3 inches thus all they can see is the blurred and colored plastic and have no idea where or what they are running into.
