Hamster Shredder, For The Paranoid Animal Lover
By Evan Ackerman
As if hamsters weren’t already useful enough, here’s another way to get your money’s worth out of your fuzzy friend: have him shred your top secret files. Not only is paper shredded (without using a shred of electricity), but it then gets chewed up and woven into a nest, and even possibly eaten, digested, and turned into hamster poop. It doesn’t get more secure than that.
Currently this is just a concept art project, but if you have a hamster (or any other rodent, for that matter), some of your top secret documents (or electrical cables) may already have been shredded.

Posted 6:27 pm on June 13th, 2007Nice idea, in principle, but, the ink on the page may be poisonous to rodents. Would you want to eat printed pages? Not a really good idea if you want hammy to live a long and healthy life.
