A hamster wheel is used in the cage and is powered by the hamster its self. A hamster ball is what you put the hamster in to exercise when you are cleaning the cage. A hamster ball is heavier so would probably go a bit slower but both are actually powered by the hamster its self so it depends on how fast it goes.

How do you get a hamster to run on the wheel?
If you just got a new hamster it is hard to get it to run on its wheel. What I did was pick it up, put it on its wheel and gently turn it slowly so that they know what it is there for. Your hamster will only run on the wheel once it is comfortable with its environment. You can also buy a hamster ball and let it run around a room in it.

Can a guniea run in the hamster wheel?
No. Guinea pigs can not run in a hamster wheel or ball. They will most likely just sit there confused. Unlike hamsters, Guinea's back bone aren't all that flexible, so it shouldn't be put under the pressure to bend, therefore it would be a good idea not to let them in a Hamster ball or a hamster wheel, because it could cause spine problems. But it is perfectly fine for a hamster. Your welcome!
