A hamster is getting the star treatment after its owner created real-life miniature movie sets from popular films for the furry pet to play in.
Lisa Murray-Lang, 44, took up the pastime of creating movie-themed play places for her hamster, Spud, after U.K. went into lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic and she lost her job.

“I needed a way to stay busy and then my friend sent me a video of guinea pigs in a tiny art gallery,” Murray-Lang told SWNS.

With time on her hands, Murray-Lang turned to creating the small models using cardboard boxes and doll furniture to make the iconic spaces like Hogwarts from Harry Potter and Coronation Street from the U.K. soap opera, SWNS reported.
