How to make a treadmill from an old Hard Disk Drive and a big tin

[shaunberry1982]

i'm sorry but this is just pointless, that's not a treadmill, that's an electronic wheel, A treadmill by definition is a flat moving surface using a belt system. Yours is just a wheel which electronically spins. I think you should rename your video. It's misleading. Plus what's the point of an electronic wheel for Degus. Just let them run on the wheel without the motor at the back. Tere weight will move the wheel, kind of the point of a wheel really. basically Rubish

@shaunberry1982 Um... nope: you have the wrong end of the treadmill...

This is, as advertised, a treadmill. The electronics are redundant, the animal makes it turn :-) I only use a hard drive because it has a beautifully free-running bearing mounted to an axle that can be attached easily.
