Pet-Powered Paper Shredder
Is your pet hamster just sitting around taking up space? Make the little rodent earn his keep! Using an ingenious implementation of Flintstones technology, the Hamster Shredder uses your little guy's exercise wheel to shred your most confidential documents (plans for world domination, etc.).Why buy bedding for the furball when he can make his own from your credit card statements? Why scream at a machine when you can blame a living creature for paper jams? Because, sadly, the Hamster Shredder is only a prototype at this time, and not for sale.

I have 6 ferrets and they are really good at stealing and hiding things. For a small fee they will hide and protect your valuables. One is exceptionally good at stealing wallets, but they must be used -- she can detect a new wallet.

Sounds like billyboobs wife ran away with a hamster

Ummm... where do the hamster droppings go?

I would be concerned about the hamster breathing in the paper "dust" that hangs in the air when you use a shredder.

Careful what paper you shred. Ink from newspaper will kill hampsters (know from experience). Not certain about ink from ink jet printers.

Word of caution on standard paper shreders... The action on the machine is activated automaticlay on contact, A pet can lick it and the results can be devistateing. I was standind in my Vets office and saw a posting on the bulliten board about a 2 year lab that was killed by a shreader. if you have one and own pets keep it uppluged unless in use. This must have been the worst day in these peoples lives to find there dog like this. Hope this helps some mut or what somewhere... Peace out shark

everyone is talking about the shredder, i just think its the perfect place for all the credit card bills to go.

I'm thinking the idea of a rodent becoming a slave, i don't want my family sued in 200 years, because of some mutant rodent being able to talk and taking all the decendance from me and suing them, you know its going to happen.

I am An animal lover. . That is a terrible idea. But it seems that a lot of people like it. It shows how lazy some people in this world are getting. Always out to find an easier softer way at the expence of an animal or person. And then we wonder why no one wants to work but wants the money. Go get a electric paper shredder get out of your seat walk over to the shredder and put it in. It is so simple yet people can make it out to be so complicated. And of course the longer you lat the paper sit there the higher the pile.

I have a cat who shreds paper.
bebitaJun 17th 2007 11:55AM

great idea but we need to take it up a notch. To homeless people and mean dogs, the pound cant place and are normally put down. One long tread mill 1 homless person a big mean dog on a chain. When the tread mill slows down the chain is slowly lengthened. Hook the tread mill to a turbine and reduce our deppendence on foreign oil.
