It does pick up scratches very easily. For us, that's not a problem. We assume this is a toy that needs to be replaced every quarter. If you are expecting this will be great for your pet forever... You might be able depending on use, but a hedgehog a couple times a week means it gets cloudy and needs to be replaced every few months.
If we had a complaint it's about the lock setup. It's easy to think the ball is locked, but not have it actually locked. Our hedgie escaped the ball twice because of this. In truth, that's our fault, the ball came unlocked because we didn't set it properly, but the fact that we didn't realize we set it properly is in a way an issue. No one will be an expert on their pet toys so the ease on this isn't quite where we'd like.
When our hedgie is in a good mood, she will run in this for hours. I personally think this is a great buy. Just be sure to double check the lock to ensure your pet stays in the ball and cannot escape.
The ball is pretty sturdy within reason. The opening takes a bit of savvy to make sure all the parts are fitted together before letting the thing roll. It is easy to clean.
Even though it is 13 in in diameter, it's a little small for a rat this size. I wish they made 15 or 16-in exercise balls! When Sherman plays in it, his tail seems to warp over to the side a little. It would be better if his tail could be straighter behind him. But since he only ambles around in it for a a couple of minutes, and not fast at all, it serves its purpose.
He also has a 12 in diameter exercise wheel. But this ball allows him to roam around the house and be safe. It's worth it to see how He gets enrichment exercise and play time.
