    I bought this for my dog to play with. I found the hamster did not move that much inside the ball especially if you use it on carpet. Works better on hard floors. However my dog still loved it. Once he got the hamster out of the ball he played and broke the hamster quite quickly. However the ball has turned out to be really good for putting dog treats in. The only way to open the ball is for the dog to hit it off something like a wall but of course he hasn’t figured that out and just rolls it about for ages before he gets it open to get the treat. Although my dog has loads of dog treat balls this one is good because he can see the treat inside which of course makes it more tempting. So good fun. Recommend.

    I ordered one and had set it up and turned it on. The wheels didn’t move on the hamster at all but the motor was making a noise so I knew that the battery was fine. I ordered a second one and luckily this one did work but for all of two minutes! The on and off button works very intermittently and hardly ever works at all. I am not happy with the product and will be sending both back.

    The hamster was ok. Was a bit slow. Put a new duracell battery in, and set it on a hard floor. Think mine might have been faulty – hamster could have just been unwell. Felt good quality. Just shame it didn’t/move very faster. Might order another one to see if it was just a dodgy one.

    Arrived on time, well packaged. Bought this for my 4 year old grandson, he loved it and had lots of fun with it. We have hardwood flooring downstairs and through the hall, so it moved well (don’t know what it would be like on carpet). You can take it out the ball and it will go in a straight line, keep it in the ball and it will go everywhere. For what it is, a small, fluffy hamster and a plastic ball (batteries NOT included), it is expensive.

    I purchased this hamster toy for my feline friends Christmas gift.The hamster requires 1 x AAA battery and a small screwdriver is needed to get inside the hamster. To turn the hamster ‘on’ a small switch needs to be slid across (as with most small toys). The hamster then needs to be put into the ball and the ball then put together. It is easy to put the ball together and I don’t think it is a big deal to have to do this.The hamster is obviously not as fast as a real hamster and it works best on hard flooring.This is just a toy for animals, children and simple folk. I don’t know what people expect for £10. I am happy with it.

    So slow, goes round in circles and, falls over.It looks ok but, isn’t very good quality. Too slow to be fun as a toy, it goes round in circles and, when it hits furniture, it can topple over and stop working.

    Bought it for our little boy to play with but found that our kitten loves it too! She would give it 5 stars.

    Absolute rubbish. Had to strip apart fix 2 stripped threads. Re solder the motor and clean up the casting imperfections to save a disappointed child. AVOID they’re taking money for broken tat.

    Bien , relacion calidad/precio
    Espero que le gusta a mi sobrina tanto como a mi . A falta de un hamster autentico cuento con que se conforme con este ya que es suave y corre como uno de verdad .

    Très sympa mais peu adapté pour des enfants
    Produit très sympa mais peu adapté pour des enfants, la boule est compliquée à ouvrir/fermer, pour éteindre ou allumer le jouet ça devient vite une galère
