That makes the slugs even more impressive

I think slugs got tricked into thinking it was an endless surface and kept exploring it.

I have gerbils. Some of them love it and some couldn’t care less. For one it took over 6 months of watching her sister and just sitting in it to figure out how it works. Once she did, there was no end to it.

Wait until corporations find out there are animals that want to do free labor and you don’t have to feed them.

They already do that for civet coffee.

The civets are not in it voluntarily though. They do eat the coffee fruits spontaneously, but for civet coffea production they are usually captured and kept in tiny cages - it’s really sad.

The cat cafe in Denver used to have a big one, it was great to see the cats take turns in it. One would just lay at the bottom of it and hog it from others who wanted to use it.

That’s a strange use of question marks?

I’m imagining a Bjenny Montero cartoon, where the cartoon frog character is running on the wheel and the cartoon slug character standing next to it says “Hey! Quit hogging the wheel! I want a go.”
