report the lsiting? i dont know its just an idea xx
 
good plan, though the other stuff they're selling is ok... i was hoping to just get them to take the ball out and sell it for hamsters or something...
 
people seem to think its a pet shop they know what they are talking about. and what they read on the internet is always true! heres hoping noone buys it and hurts a poor piggie x
 
I know, i dont think i can report it as it's not a prohibited item. I just hope they see sense and think about what i've told them. They've not had the gp stuff for long - i hope their poor guineas didn't die of ball-related injuries :...
 
Apart from the ball, they are selling some great things. :) I don't think you should report them but maybe ask if they could just sell the ball separately for a hamster?
 
If the ball is guinea pig sized, maybe they could sell if for rats or ferrets even?

My friend bought a guinea pig ball, and it did have guinea pigs in the picture. :(

But her guinea pigs wouldn't use it. It was so big that it didn't really bend their spines, but was too heavy for them to use, and they were too lazy to run around in it! Also she has two boars who don't get along so she used to put one in the ball and one on the ground who would try to attack the one in the ball!> rolleyes So obviously she doesn't use it anymore!
 
Its annoying isnt it? my dad and i had this argument the other day. He was trying to make me get one and i told him that it damages their spine. His answer was 'why do they sell them then?' They need to be taken off the shelves, as not everyone knows the damage they can do.
 
It isn't a guinea pig ball, it's a rat ball so unfortunately it will be to big for a hamster or gerbil to play in :( My friend had one for his rats.

I can't believe they are advertising it as a guinea pig ball :(
 
On the pets at home site it doesn't state they are suitable for guinea pigs, maybe the picture was of something else and they got confused!
 
well they're adamant its for guinea pigs unfortunately i've tried everything. Perhaps someone else can mail too? x
 
it also says large cage but it doesnt look all that big, although that may be the angle of the photo.
 
The person whos selling that item, is right. Ive seen them before in pet shops. I dont see how theyre suitable for guinea pigs as they arnt the sort of animal that likes to run around alot, but they do sell them unfortunately :(
 
I have just sent them a message too and said the ball was unsuitable for guinea pigs/ could cause spinal damage and asked that they not sell it as suitable for guinea pigs.
