Savic Runner Exercise Ball Large 25cm

Playtime should be limited to a maximum of 20 minutes at a time to prevent your rodent from becoming stressed, exhausted, or overheated.

This particular 25cm model is designed for larger rodents like rats and ferrets. Savic offers smaller models (like the 18cm) suitable for smaller pets like hamsters, if appropriately sized.

Always ensure the ball is securely closed, with no paws or tails trapped. Use only on flat surfaces, away from sunlight and hazards. Crucially, never leave your pet unattended.

If your pet seems to be struggling, it may indicate the ball is too large or too small for them, or the surface is not ideal. Discontinue use and reassess the fit or environment. Ensure the ball is clean and rolls freely.

It is recommended to clean the ball after each use with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly before the next use to maintain hygiene.

It is best to use the exercise ball indoors on a flat, safe surface. Outdoor use can expose your pet to unpredictable hazards, extreme temperatures, and parasites. Avoid direct sunlight at all costs.

Ensure there is no debris or fur obstructing the seam. Align the two halves precisely before attempting to close. Check for any damage to the locking mechanism.

Discontinue use immediately. Some pets may not adapt well to exercise balls. Offer alternative out-of-cage enrichment like playpens or supervised free-roam time in a safe area.

Ensure you are pressing the release points correctly. Sometimes, slight pressure changes can make it harder to open. Check the manual for specific opening instructions.

This indicates improper closure. Always double-check that the seam is clear of fur and paws before and during closing. Ensure the ball size is appropriate; too small a ball can exacerbate this issue.
