Even though you’ll both still live in your own filth, when you hook your hamster, gerbil or mouse up with this rocket ship funhouse you’ll most likely conclude that your favorite rodent has a cooler looking place than you do. And if you give him a mate and one of those little exercise wheels, he probably gets laid more and is in better shape too.

If there are two things that we love here at Nerd Approved it’s ninjas and products that make no sense. Naturally, when those two elements are combined we are ecstatic.
With a squeeze of his paw, this Ninja Hamster will begin twirling his nunchaku and singing “Kung Fu Fighting.” What’s not to love?
You can pick up a Singing Ninja Hamster for £9.95 ( $20 )
Exercise or torture? You make the call.
The faster you type, the faster a fat little hamster is going to run. That pretty much sums it up.
“You see, this is no ordinary hamster in a cage, it’s USB powered and runs as fast as you type. Yes that’s correct, the faster you type the faster the wheel turns and the more exercise it’ll get. All in all it’s a perfect pet, low maintenance and low cost, but remember, tap on each key lightly and crisply, use proper posture and stretch your wrists and fingers before you start!”
That’s right! Kick that hamsters ass! He will be feeling the burn in no time.
The USB Hamster Wheel is available from Crazy About Gadgets for $48.86 (36.36 EUR).
