I mean I'm neither a computer or server expert but I find it quite implausible, I would expect to see some electronics and lights whrring about in there if I ever pop the hood but not live animals, I mean what do they feed on? kinda wierd if you ask me.

    No, they use gerbils because they get them cheaper. Unfortunately the gerbil tails get caught in the hamster wheels and cause the whole thing to crash.

    No,they are too cheap to purchase hamsters so they catch field mice and use those.

    I have rats, mice, and gerbils. My gerbies are power diggers and hoppers. I have never witnessed a gerbil running in a wheel. XD My mouse though...she was a marathon runner and type T personality. She would love to get her wheel going fast and just stop and hang on and whiz around. Was hilarious.

    To make a long story short, if they are powering their servers with gerbils that is the problem. XD They need some mice!! rofl

    I heard ZOS went on an expedition to search for the Hollywood self-proclaimed Oompa Loompa's and during their search - they stumbled upon a group of them sitting atop a tree. This tree was not only but a tree, but a tree that was a tree higher than any other tree. The little guys were sitting aloof a couch and snacking on cocoa beans playing video games. ZOS then captured these Oompa Loompa's and brought them to the studios where they were taught discipline - and if they wanted more cocoa beans and video games, they need to work for it..

    Amidst the hard work of these little guys, running treadmills and inclines on a day-to-day basis for years on end.. their strength grew ferociously and on March 4, 2017.. they used their developed strength to overturn the management and stop running the inclines and treadmills. They now hold them captive, with servers offline.. due to nobody running the treads and inclines - eating all of the cocoa beans and playing ESO on a testing server to fulfill their gaming needs.

    Please, let's work together as a community and stop these Oompa Loompa's once and for all.
