Possibly Off-Topic - Construction of A Powered Eight-Rat Treadmill

http://www.usi.edu/science/engineering/MISC/ratmill/8_rat_treadmill.htm

This is not my project. However, it is dedicated to those of you
who somehow think I actually search out this stuff to post. So, tell
me, how in the Seven Bouncing Hells could I ever come up with the idea
to search out something like this?

Yeahbut that was a three rat/six mouse treadmill, and the internet guy has
spent the last 10 weeks working up an EIGHT-rat treadmill, which is, he
claims, undiscovered country.

Wow, I can't believe I wasted several seconds of my life actually glancing
at that stuff.

Most likely it would have been cheaper to buy one already made

10 is not that many quinton used to make a rat treadmill for 10 rats I know
I had to repair it because the rat runners wouldn't clean the rat S*** out
of it. they also had one home made unit that would run 20 rats at a time
but the belts where a real headache because if you got a little rat S***
under them the belt would start tracking off the rollers.

Humm...I wonder if there is any correlation between commissioning th
construction of steel and aluminum 8 rat treadmills for medica
research and the high cost of health care.

Here's a cheaper solution. Get some old shoe strings and make ra
collars and rat leashes, then take the rats for a walk
