Hamster balls are safe but you just want to make sure that your hamster doesn't go down any stairs or get stuck behind anything. Your hamster can only be in a hamster ball for about 10-20 minutes otherwise your hamster may get hungry or thirsty just like you if play sports. You need a brake for water don't you? Well that's the same thing with hamsters. :)

yes perfectly safe. they love the freedom to explore, but you might not get them out of the ball again as they love it too much

Make sure you have something Blocking Stairways and Places where he can get stuck (ie; under beds, Laundry rooms, Closets,)

that depends on it's size. just look at the boxes at the pet store that the balls come in and they will tell you what they are suitable for (at least they should). you could also always talk to an employee at the pet store if you need some help.

if you are buying it used off kijiji or something like that then ask the person who is selling it what type of hamster they used it for and if they think it would be suitable for what type of hamster you want to use it for.

If by regular hamster you mean a syrian then you can buy specific hamster balls to use. Other types of hamsters like Russian and Dwarfs may need to use a mouse ball as they are much smaller.

You can put a hamster in the ball as much as you want. The average time you want your hamster in there for exercise is about 15 minutes, but my hamster loves it so much that he goes in for 30. It all depends on the type of hamsters and how athletic they are! hope this helps
