Run, little guy! We found you the perfect wheel for exercising. Amazon

Remember your first pet? Not the first family dog or cat. Your very own pet, the one you kept in your room. For many folks, it was a hamster. The cute little rodent spent half its day sleeping and the other half running on a wheel.

Did you know that hamsters are instinctual runners? In the wild, they spend a lot of time fleeing predators and they can run pretty long distances. That high nervous energy is ingrained in them, so even as pets they need ways to expend it.
