Hamster Powered Paper Shredder

London design consultant Tom Ballhatchet has created a prototype for a Hamster Powered Paper Shredder. 45 minutes of hamster wheel running will shred a piece of paper which then becomes bedding for the hamster.

Now that is one heck of an idea and I’m sure it will go over well with the kiddos too. Just glad to see it’s not electric as it would scare the little critter :)

Every office should have one of these. The cuteness more than makes up for the smell.
