Expensive, difficult, slightly dangerous, not particularly effective... I'm on a roll.

This shredder is a box, with a slot in the top, to insert papers to be shredded, and rodents inside with supplies of food and drink but, crucially, no nesting material. Different sized rodents can be used to achieve coarser or finer shredding.

       [UB] Fierce primates are a nice idea - they'd certainly add to the security of the solution.

       And I was thinking that this would be an exercise wheel that powered a shredder. Hey... either's good.

       Any volunteers to empty it when it gets full? +++++

       When full, empty the whole thing into a tree-limb shredder. Compost it all.

       No. Pet stores make much of their money on selling four-legged living things to owners of snakes.   

       How bout we donate them, and get fresh ones, monthly? The newer ones would shred faster, better, and neater, I just bet cha.   

       I know, being retired early is a bitch, but if it helps keep the shredding industry working, at it's best...it might help. (Severance package, etc).
