Sometimes they are afraid to even get in the ball, or they won\u2019t run once inside the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if they do run in the ball, it\u2019s generally a stress reaction rather than a fun time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamster balls may restrict your pet\u2019s senses. Hamsters have poor eyesight, so they rely on other senses, like smell and touch, in order to safely explore their space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamsters have no control over their environment when they\u2019re in hamster balls. They have no access to resources like their nest, food or water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Are_Hamster_Balls_Good_for_Exercise\">Are Hamster Balls Good for Exercise?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your hammy runs in a hamster ball, yes, they will get exercise. However, the key is to minimize your pet\u2019s stress level while it\u2019s exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When hamsters run in an exercise ball, they gather momentum. This means that it\u2019s more difficult for them to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also means they\u2019re forced to keep running just to avoid possible injury. For this reason, it\u2019s very important to limit your hamster\u2019s time in an exercise ball so they don\u2019t become completely exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Are_Hamster_Balls_Healthy_and_Hygienic\">Are Hamster Balls Healthy and Hygienic?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some hamster balls are made of toxic plastic. Be on the lookout for that if you\u2019re considering purchasing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the ventilation holes are so small, hamster balls may not provide the cleanest, freshest air. And if balls are opaque in color, they may absorb and retain heat. This is a bad combination for the hamster inside, who could experience overheating and dehydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamsters will urinate and defecate inside the ball (sometimes due to high-stress responses). Fecal matter and urine will get lodged in the ventilation holes, which leads to even less fresh air and toxic fumes inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they are not regularly cleaned, <strong>a hamster ball can quickly become an unhygienic place<\/strong> that can cause bacterial infections or ammonia burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Do_Hamster_Balls_Cause_Injury\">Do Hamster Balls Cause Injury?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamsters are unfortunately prone to injury while they&#8217;re inside hamster balls. Depending on the quality of the ball, it may break open easily. Other injury risks include the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Limbs can get stuck in ventilation holes, possibly fracturing bones.<\/li><li>Hamsters can become disoriented inside the ball, crashing into walls or furniture or rolling down stairs. This can cause sprains, trauma, broken bones or life-threatening internal injuries.<\/li><li>If the ball is too small, a hamster will need to arch its back while it\u2019s inside, causing spine problems and back pain.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Other pets or small children may also see the ball as a plaything and shake it, throw it or knock it around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Safely_Use_Hamster_Balls\">How to Safely Use Hamster Balls<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are considering trying out a hamster ball, you must be willing to put in the time and energy it takes to keep your furry friend as safe as possible. Follow these guidelines!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Purchase_an_Appropriate_Size_and_Color\">Purchase an Appropriate Size and Color<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamsters must be able to stand up straight while inside the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syrian hamsters (also known as teddy bear, black bear or golden hamsters) need an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/34YVHNd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11- to 12-inch ball<\/a>, depending on their individual size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dwarf hamsters need a 7- or 8-inch ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only use a transparent and clear-colored hamster ball. This will prevent extra heat absorption. Plus, you can better observe your hamster while it\u2019s in the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to keep the hamster ball out of direct sunlight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Acclimate_Your_Hamster_First\">Acclimate Your Hamster First<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before your hammy rolls around for the first time, get them used to the ball. Follow these steps to help it along:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Allow it to climb in the open ball for a few days. Never force your hamster inside the hamster ball. Get it to climb in on its own by placing a treat inside the open ball.<\/li><li>After a few days, if your hamster will climb in on its own, close the ball and monitor its reaction to being enclosed.<\/li><li>Once your hamster is comfortable with the ball, place it on the floor for its first roll.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Never roll the ball with your hamster inside it. Always let the hamster move the ball on its own (or not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Secure_the_Hamster_Ball\">Secure the Hamster Ball<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Close the ball securely<\/strong> by twisting or locking it. If there\u2019s any doubt that it might open, you can use some tape to secure it shut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check for cracks and weaknesses before your hamster uses the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Limit_Time\">Limit Time<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Limit your hamster\u2019s first roll to only two or three minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your hamster is used to the exercise ball, a workout can be up to 10 minutes long. However, never exceed the 10-minute mark without giving your hamster a break with access to its nesting, food and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Always_Supervise\">Always Supervise<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must constantly monitor your hamster when it\u2019s using the exercise ball. Don\u2019t leave it alone with small children, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Close off an area where no small children or other pets can reach the ball, and where there are no dangerous obstacles for it to crash into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Only_Use_on_Even_Ground\">Only Use on Even Ground<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the hamster ball far away from stairs, hard flooring or uneven ground like gravel. Don\u2019t allow your hamster access to downhill rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft carpet is the best ground for hamster ball exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Wash_the_Ball_After_Every_Use\">Wash the Ball After Every Use<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is no joke. Hamsters will urinate and poop while inside, so it\u2019s extremely important to thoroughly wash the exercise ball after each use. A hamster ball can easily become unhealthy for your hamster and for the humans and other pets in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washing the ball will also keep it better ventilated, so your hamster can breathe more fresh air and avoid unhealthy exposure to fumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Listen_to_Your_Hamster\">Listen to Your Hamster<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your hamster never wants to get in the exercise ball, don\u2019t force it. There are alternatives to hamster balls that will give your pet less-stressful exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respect your hamster\u2019s comfort level with its surroundings. If it stops running or seems agitated while inside the ball, it\u2019s time to let it out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamsters are nocturnal creatures, which means they will sleep most of the day. Never wake up your hamster so it can exercise. It\u2019s disorienting and unhealthy for your hammy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Alternatives_to_Hamster_Balls\">Alternatives to Hamster Balls<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With all these health and safety risks, you may decide to skip the hamster ball altogether. That\u2019s OK. There are great hamster ball alternatives that can give your hammy the exercise it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Play pens (like <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xlfvXB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this one<\/a>) are great options if you want to give your hamster a secondary location for running and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamster wheels are tried and true. Make sure they have solid flooring, with no latticing or crossbars, and are large enough for your hamster (remember, they shouldn&#8217;t have to arch their backs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing enrichment items like tubs, boxes and chew blocks in your hamster\u2019s cage will also give them activity and exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamsters are prone to obesity and other diseases that stem from lack of exercise.
