ok, but...
Date: November 13, 2009
"I have always had exercise balls for my small pets (usually hamsters or mice), and recently bought this ball for my new chinchilla. He LOVES to run into it, often slamming so hard into objects/doors/walls, that he pops the door right off. This can be a scary thing since he is still quite skiddish. I'm afraid if he gets loose, he'll take up hiding underneath some piece of furniture, and I won't be able to get him out again! So I improvised and put tape over the door, and so far, so good-no escapes. I wish they would come up with a better fitting door, that doesn't pop off so easily."

Amazing Purchase
Date: August 16, 2009
"I love this rolling ball. My chinchilla loves to explore and this is great! It let's him explore without getting lost in some random spot. And it means no droppings on the floor! The lid is also escape proof.It's definitely worth the money. I would totally recommend this product."

NOT for guinea pigs
Date: July 27, 2009
"My guinea pig does NOT like this product. I tried to help him walk by moving the ball, but he would just slide. Not sure how this works with other pets."

mega run ball
Date: October 23, 2008
"It serves it purpose and my chins get exercise and love running around but the door ISN'T SECURE. It comes loose and falls off and they excape. I had one of the doors actual crack and wasn't able to lock any longer. Cheap construction."

Love it!
Date: April 26, 2008
"My mother originally bought this for Bailey, our (very large) male prairie dog, he however was unamused and fell asleep inside of it!
But our other two prairie dogs (sisters Chloe & Nibbles) think this is the best thing ever! They run around the house all day.
The only problem we've had is that the door/lid, which twist-locks on, was never very good at locking. So if one of the prairie dogs rolled into a wall hard enough, the lid simply popped off! After several different times of chasing loose prairie dogs around the house we simply stick duct tape over the lid to hold it in place. While it's not very attractive, it keeps the lid on.

It was great while it lasted
Date: September 22, 2007
"Ive had a pink ball for my hamster for about 3 months. It is really dirty, and my hamster can chew through tons of things. She prefers plastic and metal over wood. So, she started chewing on the safety lock parts and started pooping in it.A couple of the safety locks were getting worn out and have gone. I let my hamster run around for about a half an hour. I know i locked it because i checked it 5 times and heard a click. When I went out to the kitchen to check on her, i find her out of the ball near the dishwasher in a bundle sitting there. I picked her up immediatley and my heart was beating so fast. I put her back in the cage, and went outside to retrieve the ball. It was 3 feet away from where i found Muffin. The cap was off, a few inches away from the ball. I suppose she kept on knocking into things, and it became loose. Then, with a finale step, it popped off. I haven't let her run in it since. I have to get her a new one.
Even before she got out, she LOVED it. I put her at the end of the hall and saw her running really fast. Her mouth was open, and she looked so cute and funny.She didn't care where she was going. As soon as i put her in, she would try running. I didn't even put the cover on yet. She knew exactly what to do.

So funny
Date: May 30, 2007
"I just got this ball in the mail today for my chin! She LOVES it. I think I have the only chin in the world who refuses to run on her wheel, so I got her this. I usually let her run around our living room and hallways, but I have to keep an eye on her and she just wants to jump up on me anyway and sit. This way she cant, and she gets tons of fitness time. She pouted when I took her out and put her back in her cage. It is so flippin' funny to watch how cute she is in this thing!
The size is great and I love how big it is! A must have!

The best
Date: February 14, 2007
"This is the funnest way me and my chin have, and my chin gets a lot of exercise using it. I also use it when I clean his cage out, because I used to have to put him in my room and let him play in there while I clean his cage out. This is a much better alternative than that was."

Ferrets Escape
Date: February 6, 2007
"Our ferrets not only hate being put in this ball but even as kits each and every one of them could open it from the inside and escape. Ferret parents are better off with a playpen or just a good old ferret proof room."

OMG yes
Date: December 17, 2006
"This roll-around is great! I just bought it for my new chinchilla and she loves it! It is big enough for her to move withou getting squished and it it very easy to clean due to the larger opening. The colors are sooooo much fun too! A must buy!"
