This thread has been linked to the game 'Super Monkey Ball'.
To start with let’s talk about what the word hamster actually means.
1. ({Fairchild}) A particularly slick little piece of code that does one thing well; a small, self-contained hack.
2. A tailless mouse; that is, one with an infrared link to a receiver on the machine, as opposed to the conventional cable.
3. (UK) Any item of hardware made by {Amstrad}, a company famous for its cheap plastic PC-almost-compatibles.
Ok, so what the hell does this have to do with Super Monkey Ball for the Nintendo Gamecube?
Well, nothing really. Seeing as one is about furry rodents and the other about monkeys
The only real similarity is the fact that Hamsters run in balls and so do these monkeys.
And of course, please follow these warnings if you let your hamster watch you playing Super Monkey Ball.
Make sure that you hamster will not try and roll down a slope and launch itself into the air to hit a target. Reasons for this are that your hamsters ball will not open like in the game and therefore your hamster will just fall to its death.
Do not take your hamster bowling. Reasons for this are that your hamster will not be able to pick up enough speed in its wheel to even contemplate knocking down any pins. Unlike the monkey who has the advantage of larger body mass, body strength and also a bigger ball.
Never take your hamster onto a tilt maze. Reasons for this are that a hamster does not have the intelligence to move through the maze and will eventually die as it would not be able to go around and collect the food.
Collecting food would also prove difficult for the hamster seeing as there are no spaces large enough for the hamster to grab the food through. Any hole big enough would be used by the hamster for escaping purposes.
Never play pool with a group of hamsters in wheels. Reasons for this are that your hamsters will constantly move about causing anger within the players heads and also the pockets will have to be large therefore needing a huge table to play on.
Never play golf with your hamster. Reasons for this are that you will break the hamster wheel and kill the hamster. Also it is a sure fire way to have your hamster taken off you.

I've been using a hamster as a replacement for weeks, it doesn't seem to move much though, as in, at all.... Wonder what could be wrong?
