what is the name of the hamster wheels
Like other rodents, hamsters are highly motivated to run in wheels. Hamster wheels or running wheel are exercise devices used primarily by hamsters and other rodents, but also by other cursorial animals when given the opportunity. Most of these devices consist of a runged or ridged wheel held on a stand by a single or pair of stub axles. Hamster wheels allow rodents to run even when their space is confined. The earliest dated use of the term âhamster wheelâ, located by the Oxford English Dictionary, is in a 1949 newspaper advertisement.
