Ball for rodents Trixie TRIXIE 61822, diameter 4 cm, brown

Trixie TRIXIE 61822 is a brown play ball designed for rodents with a compact 4 cm diameter. The lightweight construction allows small pets such as hamsters and mice to push and chase the ball during supervised play. The ball supports physical activity and mental stimulation by encouraging natural behaviours like exploration, foraging and short bursts of running inside a cage or in a playpen.

Advantages

The ball’s small size and low weight make it easy for tiny paws to move and manipulate, helping to build coordination and provide exercise. Its simple, open form is easy to clean and store. The neutral brown colour blends with common bedding and toys while remaining visible enough for the animal to track and interact with. Designed specifically for small rodents, the ball offers a safe way to introduce interactive play under supervision.

Suitable for

• Hamsters and dwarf hamsters
• Mice and young rats (under supervision)
• Short supervised play sessions in cages or playpens
• Enrichment activities that encourage chasing and foraging

Key specifications

• Diameter: 4 cm
• Colour: brown
• Intended species: small rodents (hamsters, mice)
• Weight: lightweight for easy movement by small pets

How to use

Place the ball in the animal’s enclosure or a secure playpen where the pet can reach it. Observe the animal while it pushes, chases or investigates the ball, and remove the item if any signs of chewing that could create loose pieces appear. Use the ball in short play sessions to avoid overstimulation and ensure fresh bedding and a clean environment to reduce dirt accumulation on the toy. Clean the ball according to the material type before returning it to the enclosure.

Usage recommendations

Use only under supervision and remove at the first sign of damage; combine play with other enrichment like hiding treats to promote natural foraging behaviour. Replace the ball if it becomes chewed or fractured to prevent ingestion of small parts.
