I bought these to replace a set of UltimateEars that I murdered with a pair of garden shears while working in the yard. Some observations: The earpieces themselves are quite light, lighter than what I expected. The cord (as mentioned) has a braided insulation. It is less tangle prone than many ot

Dangerous!
7/15/2008
No animal should ever be put in an exercise ball. They are dangerous and stressful for all animals. You may think your animal is happily rolling around. It's much more likely that they are running in fear, trying to get away from the ball that is containing them. Or, sometimes the animal will just sit there in misery, not moving at all, waiting to be freed.

Most rodents/small animals have poor eyesight. In a ball their vision is even more limited. What always happens when they are in the ball?? They run into furniture and walls, which they don't see coming. It's like a car crash for them. They back up to try and get away and crash into something else. It's extremely stressful. There is also the risk that they could roll down stairs or become a "toy" for a larger family pet, such as a cat or dog. It only takes a second for an unfortunate accident to happen.

Crashing into things is not the only hazard...

Paws and legs can be pinched/broken in the air slits.

Animals can easily become overheated -- especially chinchillas.

If the animal goes to the bathroom in the ball, s/he has to run in their own waste.

Exercise balls are not safe for any animal, but they are exceptionally dangerous for guinea pigs, rabbits and chinchillas. A guinea pig's rigid spine does not allow for him/her to move safely in a ball. They can be seriously injured. The way rabbits and chinchillas move (hop) makes exercise balls extremely dangerous for them too.

There are alternatives...

A large Rubbermaid tote/bin makes an excellent playpen for hamsters, gerbils, mice and other little guys. Put in a layer of bedding, add some toys, tunnels, boxes, cubbies, and an exercise wheel with a solid running surface and watch them have a blast.

The "Grrreat Wall" makes an excellent playpen for rats and guinea pigs. Lay down a sheet, set up The Wall, add some toys and have some fun. When you are done, the Grrreat Wall rolls right up. You can also use a fence type playpen for guinea pigs. (Rats will climb out.) You can purchase a fence playpen, or you can easily make one with Creative Cubes and cable/zip ties.

An exercise pen can make an excellent play area for ferrets and rabbits. Even better, connect two or more exercise pens together. (You may need a top for ferrets.) Ferrets and rabbits can be litter trained, so it's possible (and ideal) to let them have supervised free run of a whole animal-proofed room.

Chinchillas need a lot of room to exercise. Most playpens are too small, and chinchillas can usually jump right out of them. Chin-proof a room so they can safely run around.

We enjoy freedom of movement and so do our animal companions. They want to explore, touch, sniff, climb, hop, play...

Use your imagination! It's easy to create a safe and fun play environment for your animal friends.......and trash the ball!
