Here’s something that hamster lovers might wanna add to their collection:
Yeah, the wheel is not the most practical type (for a hamster in real life) since it has individual rungs instead of a solid surface, lol, but hey, this is a toy, and it looks really cute right?
You connect it via USB to your PC and install the included software. Then as you type on the keyboard, the hamster runs! The faster you type, the faster the hamster goes!
Not sure why it is stated that it requires 2xAA batteries though when it also says that the hamster and the wheel are powered by USB.
They do not come cheap too, costing about £25 (that’s US$45). And the last we checked (date this post is published), this little dude on the bright red wheel was, gasp, sold out!

I would like to have one too! But I think the shipping cost and the exchange rates will kill me.

Awesome! I’ll try to get one for myself. I think the reason it says it needs those batteries, it’s because you can use it without the USB (I think).
