Didn't Elvis write a song about this? There's a hotel in Nantes, France where for $148 a night you can live like a hamster. You get a wheel, wood chips, and grain to eat. Like many good hotels, a fresh newspaper is delivered to your room each day, only in this case it's for you to defecate on rather than read.

Guests Maud and Sebastien were the first to brave life in a cage... they wanted "to become a hamster, eat seeds, change our way of life ... come out of our daily routine."



Now before you rush out to book your reservation, remember this isn't really hamster life we're talking about here. This is the life of a hamster as prescribed by a pet owner. It's like saying, Come experience life as a great orca whale. Spend a night in a tank at Sea World. Kinda pales in comparison to eating a sea lion, doesn't it? Somebody let me know when they open up a hotel where you get to live like a wild hamster. Now that's a hotel I'd like to stay at.

Thanks for the tip, Andres!
