A lego hamster wonderland

This time it’s from TV Tokyo, where five Legomaniacs created 1,000+ piece Lego hamster* wonderlands.
First up is the ‘exciting fruit paradise’ – with a pineapple wheel, grape tree jungle gym, melon ball pool and a banana see-saw. According to the narrator, ‘it’s a hamster paradise!’.
There’s also a *yawn* Robinson Crusoe recreation, a pretty cool ninja house, a modern transformable block house and bizarrely, the Metabolic Syndrome Reduction Training House (メタボ解消トレーニングハウス).

The latter is for chubby hamsters struggling with the dreaded Metabolic Syndrome, one of those crazy health problems that became a major buzzword a few years’ back in Japan. The Training House features a bicycle wheel with a dynamo mechanism to power the front lamp (above), a treadmill, dumb-bells and even mini vermin-sized scales to measure progress.
Like all good Japanese tv, the whole thing’s a competition so you’ll have to watch to see who wins:
*The featured hamster looks more like a mouse without its tail cut off. Or do all hamsters look like that? More importantly, do hamsters taste like guinea pigs? If so, find five delicious recipe ideas here.
