Hi all.  I was in PetSmart today, and I saw the cutest thing.  It was
a wheel for hamsters and gerbils, with a digital odometer attached at
the base of the wheel.  It would start out measuring the distance run
in feet, then convert to miles.  It was called the "Hamster Workout
Wheel."  (Original name, huh?)  It cost twelve dollars.

But I didn't buy it, for several reasons.  First, it was very tall,
and I believe the top part of the wheel would come very close to
touching the top of a standard tank.  Second, it was made of a
relatively soft plastic which gerbils could easily demolish.  Third,
while it was relatively safe in that it had no rungs, there was no
back on the wheel, and the actual "runway" was very narrow, leading me
to believe that a gerbil would continually slip out of the wheel while
running.

Just thought I'd let you all know.
