If you ever wanted your hamster doing something useful and productive instead of distracting and destructive, modify his enthusiasm to run into powering a nightlamp or your mobile phone.
Elvis charging a mobile
Skippy powering a reading lamp
According to Ananova,
a 16-year-old boy invented a hamster-powered mobile phone charger as part of his GCSE science project.

They have a pea sized brain and act out of their instinct to run.
If they charge up a mobile or a nightlamb it doesn't matter to them at all..
In fact it is more "animal rights" to have a hamster wheel than to have not in a hamster cage.
"Exercise wheels are very popular, and hamsters seem to enjoy running on them - because they frequently return to them when they don't have to." -
The discussion if it is unethical for a hamster to charge up a mobile or power a nightlamb is just absurd and signifies how many crazy trolls have nothing better to do than trying to destroy the last little bit of fun on indymedia and make it too serious to enjoy.
