No, not even hamsters should play in a hamster ball. It frightens them , can effect their eyesight and makes them disorientated.
Do NOT put a guinea pig in ANY ball. They do not have the spines that hamsters have. They can break their backs and possibly die.
No, because it can hurt their feet.

∙ 13y agoNO! Most guinea pigs will stand still in the ball, terrified. If a guinea pig does try to walk/run in a ball, it can easily break its back or become paralyzed because guinea pigs are not built to bend that way.

∙ 13y agoWell I don't recommend it because I had a guinea pig and I put it in a ball and it wasn't even moving in it. Then that guinea pig died and I got a new one and I put the new one in a ball but it didn't do anything either, not even a single move in the ball so I really don't recommend it.

Where do you get a guinea pig ball?
First of all, balls are BAD-BAD-BAD for your piggie. It curls its spine into an unnatural position and can be extremely painful!! Guinea pigs kept in this position will eventually not be able to walk right!! But if you insist... You can find guinea pig balls in a pet store. They can also be labeled as ferret balls. Just make sure you get it in an extremely big size. Oh, and like 98% of guinea pigs will not roll in its ball, but will just sit there and watch the world go by.

No, guinea pigs have relatively inflexible spines, and those balls force them to curve their back in a way that's painful and dangerous for them. This is true even of the larger balls that aren't so obviously painful for the pig to even get in, so it's best to just avoid them altogether.
