hamster ball

Pet exercise bubble

A hamster ball is a hollow plastic sphere that a hamster or other small pet can run inside, allowing it to roam a room without escaping or getting lost.

The animal's movement rolls the ball across the floor.

The term extends to similar human-sized inflatable spheres used for recreation: We rented hamster balls and rolled down the hill.
