Customers are dissatisfied with the lid of the pet food bowl.

"...five if it hadn't arrived with scuffs all over it and impossible to remove tape over the lid." Read more

244 customers mention65 positive179 negative

Customers find the pet supplies difficult to open and close. They mention the cover is quite hard to open, and the lid is complicated to close all the way. The size of the ball makes it a little harder to snap it shut correctly. The door on the ball was difficult to op, and it never opens. It takes a bit of savvy to make sure all the parts are fitted together.

"...In fact, it was a bit difficult to open and close it at first.3...." Read more

"I bought it for my hamster and he loves it! Easy to open but a little hard to clean." Read more

"...First and foremost, the ball's primary issue is its lack of secure closure. On multiple occasions, the ball unexpectedly opened during use...." Read more

Bought for my Syrian hamsters.
4 Stars
Bought for my Syrian hamsters.
I was looking for a ball the size of their wheel. Couldn't find one. Have the 11.5 inch ones. Decided to see how a 13 inch would be.This is her first time in it. The big one is MUCH more clear than the other sizes. (We also have 2 robo hams and they have their own balls).With her previous ball she figured out how to turn it before smacking something. I'm pretty confident she will figure this one out too.I do wish I could find a 12 -12.5 inch one though.The ball itself seems okay once you gave it together right. You have to really pay attention to every clamp and also the spaces between. The spaces between the clamps can be warped looking until you get it right. So make sure it is right all the way around. If not, I'm guessing their little beans will go through the crack and hurt them pretty bad
