Fey Folks,

They seem pretty good - will find out how hamster likes it later :D

    I bet Hammy loves it! It's a great work out and I'm sure it prolongs their lives too.

    :D

    Just don't put any glasses or cups on the floor while it's in use - our Molly takes great delight in knocking them over, glasses of red wine in particular!

    :mad:

    And make sure there are no toddlers about - she took a while to recover from our nipper kicking it around with her inside!

    :eek:

    Haha, Our hamster usually takes great delight in running into OH's ( AceRider up there ^^ ) feet, I swear she has a grin on her face when doing so.

    Have bought two, one to stick on ebay later, might make 99p on it at least :D

    Yea we have a ball for her already although i believe its only a 4"/5" so this one is simply an upgrade, we havn't had any drinks on the floor whilst she's out though this is more coincedence than planned but thanks for the tip :)

    We also have young children however they havn't realised they can play football with her - yet lol

    He won't have anything to do with cat toys, but give him anything else and he is in his element. He'll push it around, try to pick it up, and generally create as much havoc with it as he can!

    they also have a rodent playground for £5 on the pet aisle that is £12 ish in pets at home. Basically a wire fence that means your hammy can play outside the cage.
