Hamsters using commercially produced nesting ball for intended purpose shock! It must be the end times.
On Friday I bought a hamster nest, a gerbil tube, a cat toy and some canary seed. The shop must have thought I was some sort of mad pet lady. I've experimented with putting ordinary hamster food and canary seed in the dwarf hamsters' bowl, and they do prefer the smaller stuff if the rate at which it gets hoovered up into cheek pouches is any indication!
ozymandias_cat has been pinning me to the bed for most of the morning, displaying his mightiness by having his ears on my ankles and his back feet on my hip bone.

Mind you, I'm still of the opinion that it would be possible to hook up one or more small-animal/rodent treadmills to a miniature electric generator & storage batteries, in order to operate a computer -- though probably not in the Rube Goldbergish way that sticker depicts. (OTOH, it seems unlikely that they could generate enough electricity to produce enough light to grow crops adequate to supply all their dietary needs. That would put them in the same category as the small South American fish that subsist entirely on a diet of their own young (as per an old Fannish Mythos).)
