I almost find it interesting that somehow you know that the hampster
actually thinks it's going somewhere. If this is the case, why doesn't it
act disoriented when it gets off the wheel?

If the hampster knew it was staying still, it would stop running. As for
knowing its location, it has to do with intellegence. A small mammal with low
intellegence will most likely think "mabey I will move somewhere the next
time?". If the hampster is a super intellegent scientest it will probably think
"I ram yet did not move! I must study this great object!"

Maybe it just feels good to be running.

If you lived in a wire cage like that, you'd spent time on the wheel too. If
only to keep your muscles toned, waiting to seize a chance to strike back at
your captors...
