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.
They can cost $100--$4000
Your hamster doesn't need to go in the ball everyday , If your hamster has an exercise wheel then you can put them in the ball when you want to. I have 2 hamsters and they both have hamster balls and i only put them in it 3 times a week at the most :)
the same as a regular hamster one but its just bigger
Well, if i can understand.. Your hamster was put in a ball? for the first time? it went to the corner and then there was a white substance.. In the ball or the wall?If i do understand, the white stuff was urine. Hamsters are terrified of the ball for the first time, so to get your hamster used to it-open the lid and put your hamster in- do not shut it.after they have sniffed around, put them backkeep doing this and then eventually (after around 4 days) put the hamster in the ball for 5 minutes, rolling around.NEVER leave a hamster out for more than 10 minutesMy hamster is about 6months or soemthing and he isn't scared of it. he likes it. from tashy2712
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

Yes, that way your hamster can go out of its cage but at the same time be safe. Don't ever leave your hamster inside the ball without supersivion.
You should put your hamster in a safe place, or have someone else hold it for you. If you have a hamster ball, let your hamster exercise in that while cleaning out it's bedding.
a hamster-ball is a ball and in it there is hamster. see my house there will be a hamster-ball. issisabelle is my username
you could. but a hamster ball is dangerous for a hamster so it most likely be dangerous for a gerbil as well.
Place it in. If it bite were gloves
The pet store, of course!
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.
The hamster gets more exercise because he is pushing a ball. Plus it is easier to catch than the hamster itself.
it depends on the hamster
a wheel in its cage or a hamster ball
