Hamster hotel lets you live the life of an actual hamster

4/18/2012

​Hamster enthusiasts need no longer sit idly by and watch depressed as their caged, rodent friends live the life they so desperately envy. Villa Hamster, a hotel in Nantes, France, allows guests to get away from the rat race and relax by spending some time living like an actual hamster. The hotel's "cages" are fully equipped with water bottles with tubes for guests to suck on, hay stacks for sleeping, containers full of organic hamster grains and, yes, giant exercise wheels. Patrons also have the option of wearing hamster hoodies if they really want to play the part. You know, just in case running on a giant wheel without one feels a little weird.
