FAQs

How long can my hamster stay in the ball?

Hamsters should not be left in the ball for more than 30 minutes at a time due to the risk of overheating and the inability to provide water.

Can I use this ball on any surface?

No, it is not recommended for use upstairs or on uneven surfaces. Avoid any surface with a drop or edge where the hamster could fall.

How do I clean the hamster ball?

Wipe the inside and outside with a damp cloth. Use a very mild, pet-safe soap if necessary, and rinse thoroughly. Ensure it is completely dry before re-use.

Is the glitter safe if my hamster nibbles the ball?

The ball is made from high-quality, shatter-resistant plastic. While hamsters may nibble, the material is designed to be safe. However, always supervise closely and discontinue use if significant damage or chewing occurs.

What are the dimensions of the ball?

The dimensions are approximately 18 x 18 x 18 cm.

Can I use this ball for other small pets?

It is suitable for other small animals like gerbils. Ensure the pet is of a similar size and temperament to a hamster.

What does 'Made in Britain' mean for the quality?

This indicates that the product has been manufactured in Great Britain, typically implying adherence to quality and safety standards associated with manufacturing in that region.

Troubleshooting

Ball won't lock securely

Ensure the two halves are properly aligned and pushed together firmly. Check for any debris obstructing the locking mechanism.

Hamster seems stressed or frightened

Discontinue use and try again another time, perhaps after a shorter initial introduction. Ensure the environment is calm and quiet.

Plastic appears scratched or worn

This is normal wear from use. Inspect for any cracks or sharp edges that could harm your pet. Replace if significant damage occurs.

Difficulty unlocking the door

Ensure you are twisting anti-clockwise. If still stiff, check the locking mechanism for any obstructions and clean gently.
