hamster exercise balls?

Can anyone recommend an exercise ball for a Syrian hamster which is sturdy and won't break easily.

We've been through several from pets at home and they seem to crack and break so easily.

Following this post hoping for recommendations too, although ours bashes into everything until the door comes off then makes a break for freedom

I'm bumping this because I've been trying to find a decent one too but haven't had much luck.

I could have sworn the ones I used as a child were much better than they are now. I can't remember any of them ever cracking or the door ever coming off. Now that's all that ever seem to happen with the ones I've had in recent years.

Same here I'm afraid. Had to stop using ours because it opened. I wondered if there is a reliable one?

I still use them, I just tape the door shut so it can't come off.

Following after new hamster suddenly ran across the floor this evening (we thought he was still in the ball!)

I got one from wilkinsons and it's the sturdiest one I've had so far, no escaped hamster as of yet!
