I’m a bit puzzled to see the hamster so chill on the final product; but absolutely flipping out while being calipered.

Is it just being upside down that they don’t like?

What a coincidence! I had just heard that Elton John bought an exercise treadmill for his pet rabbit.

It’s a little fit bunny…
