For anyone with hamster balls, instead of getting rid of them, here's a neat idea: Fill them with fleece and turn them into a nest. This is what Lucky Glider Rescue and Sanctuary does. =]
There is a discussion about it somewhere I'll see if I can find it

A lot of gliders come in to the rescue along with hamster balls. here's what we do for them (not their original intended purpose):

1. We throw out the top that screws on
2. We loop zip ties on either side through one of the cracks
3. We use plastic chain or fleece to make a sling and put a dog clip in the middle
4. We stuff fleece squares in the ball and hang it from the top of the cage

Anyway, they make for a great, non-toxic nest and the cracks allow the nest to air out so the fleece squares don't get too funky. So long as you clip their nails often, which you should be doing anyway - there's no problem to use them like this.
