5 Stars Zhu Zhu Review
Picked up two of these guys the other day (this was my second) since they happened to be in the store and I happened to be in the store. A little bit of background first: I’m a 26 year-old collector of many things including robotic pets. I’ve tried out Furbys, Micropets, Neopets, Scoozie pets, Petal-chi, Mutsu, Fureal Friends, and more so I consider myself a bit of an expert on the subject.

To start with, these things eat batteries, have triple A’s on hand. Second, I don’t have any playsets, I’m just testing the hamsters.

Upon opening and removing this little guy I tried out “cuddle mode”, which was a little disappointing. The hamster will lie still and make cute noises every few seconds or so but he isn’t really responding to anything. “Try me mode” is when the hamster is off but you can push his nose to hear a random noise, not a lot of fun there. Now play mode, that’s where the fun is. The wheels are fast and the grip is really strong, I promptly put it on my boyfriend to see if it would climb up his shirt and it did, hit the back of the couch, made a springy noise and ran back down. Even he cracked up at it. It tackles carpet and all hard surfaces no problem, and makes a ton of different noises, some 40 in all, and each of the four designs sounds unique!. You have to be careful around stairs but all in all it does what it was made to do and cheaply at that. At normal retail they’re cheaper than most action figures.

(I got mine at normal retail and I suggest you wait until you can too. If you have kids and can’t find them try giving a cute IOU written from the hamster saying how it will come to live with your child after X-mas. They have a guarantee from you, you have a kid who still has something to look forward to after December. All is well.)

Remember these are for ages 3 and up and have motorized parts. It says in the instruction to supervise your child, so do so. Risk is probably minimal but if you have a kid you wouldn’t give a RC car to then they’re probably too little for these.

So to wrap up

Good: Funny and varied sounds, cheap, cute, runs fast and randomly, fascinates my dog!

Bad: Hard to find (for now), eats batteries (2 AAA), can pinch, can be broken with a moderate impact.

Have a hamster good day!

2 Stars Vendors should be ashamed!
The vendors that are selling these toys for outrageous prices should be ashamed! This is a kids toy and parents are not able to find them because people are buying them up to resell at a profit. I was able to get all of the hamsters and accessories that I needed at retail prices by staying ahead of the scalpers at WalMart. The store associates say that they will stock shelves with 24 Funhouses at midnight and that one person will come in and buy every one of them before 7 am. This is just wrong. Do not support vendors who raise the prices in this difficult economy. I hate to think that these people with no scruples will have a prosperous Christmas while depriving kids whose parents can not find them or are smart enough not to pay an a ridiculous price for an [...] toy.

4 Stars Cute toy
These pets are really cute and fun to play with. My son is 6 and he really likes to play with these.

5 Stars Making a young child very happy
I had bought this product for a 6 year old little girl. This is something that she had wanted for a long time but was not able to find it anywhere in the stores. I had went online looking for the product and had finally found it. I had the item delivered to her house as a surprise. When the item arrived and she had opened the box she was very excited. This was the one that she really, really wanted. I was glad that I had made a young child very happy.

1 Star Toy Injured Child
This toy is known to have injured a child already. The wheels spin fast and change direction randomly. When picked up and held they can severely pinch skin and not release. Hair is very easily caught in the wheels and difficult to remove. I am surprised there have not been many more complaints of injury. I would not recommend this toy at all.

4 Stars Works for me
My daughter loves this!!! These guys run in and out without a problem (well, once we changed the batteries in them).

1 Star Save your money
Most of the zhu zhu pets accessories work fine, this one does not. The hamster gets trapped in it and cannot get out.

1 Star NOT WORTH THE MONEY!
The garage is NOT worth the money! It falls apart every use and my child cries thinking she’s broken it. I finally had to make it disappear.

1 Star Don’t waste your money.
Kids are really bored after a short time. There isn’t anything for them to do but sit and watch. Boring.

1 Star Junk!
We bought all the accessories which I put together last night. The garage is impossible to keep together. It is a very poor design and the roof and doors do not stick together. I tried several times to keep it from falling apart, but finally gave up. Our one little hamster now has a open roof, doorless garage!

5 Stars Works GREAT Just needs a piece of tape!
I purchased this entire set for my 4 yr old daughter about a month ago and it is the greatest toy ever! Yes, the garage does fall apart and the doors fall off, but all I used was one piece of tape all the way around to secure the roof and since then there hasn’t been a problem at all!! You can’t even see the tape, and it is a very easy fix. I do recommend that you use the tape trick especially if you have little ones like I do. They just aren’t as gentle as older kids and she tended to knock the roof off easliy. I do not find that the hamsters get stuck at all. Most people don’t really understand how these little guys work. First and foremost you have to replace the batteries in all the hamsters when you get them home. The batteries are only for in-store use and it says so on the instructions and on the website as well. Once you change the batteries….wow watch these little guys go! Secondly you have to pay attention to the tunnel directions, again in the instructions and the website, otherwise they will not work correctly. Thirdly, they do NOT get stuck, they make their own little decisions…just let them go and see what they do! My daughter LOVES these and has played with them non stop since she got them over a month ago. For the price they are great! (Not on amazon though, look at toys r us or walmart, or especially ebay instead they have the whole set for a pretty good deal!)

2 Stars Looks great, but dosn’t work great
My daughter was so happy to find this set at Walmart (for only $15). I quickly scooped it in our cart. Once home, I put the Garage together. Like most of the other Hamster sets, it is wobbly and falls apart easily (I’m thinking of using super glue). My daughter put a Hamster in the tunnel leading to the garage and let it go to the car and garage, but the Hamster got stuck in the car. The hamster’s wheels were spinning and spinning, but would not make it through the doors. I followed the instructions, flat surface, loose garage doors, but it took 3 tries and FINALLY the hamster made it out of the garage 2 inches and then sped backwards very quickly to the garage. Okay, my daughter was then frusterated and resorted to pushing the hamster car around on the floor. Her friend came over and tried the hamster car on the kitchen floor (with out the garage). It would go forward 2 inches and speed backward 12-14 inches. Not much fun. My daughter and I are VERY dissapointedin this product. If you are looking for a fun Zhu Zhu hamster accessory try the Hamster Wheel (I found at Walmart too for $15), my daughter and I are much more satisfied with that Zhu Zhu toy (even though the tunnel to the wheel falls apart easy)One hint I would advise to avoid the high prices on Amazon, is to look at your local Wal-Mart. I found hamsters for $8, Bed & blanket for $5,the 2 room house / activity center for $20, and the garage and wheel for $15 each. If you can find an associate they may be able to let you know when the next shippment may occur. (that’s what I did). Good luck on your Zhu Zhu pet search!

Have a hamster good day!

5 Stars A rodent on wheels
This was purchased for my daughter. I was afraid it would be one of those toys purchased then set aside. It’s funny and makes cute noises, is responsive to being petted, and rolls all over the house.

Still, it is now a dust collector after a month. If only we could convince the child to contribute to her own college fund…. sigh….. anyone want to buy a slightly used rolling hamster???

5 Stars A cute little toy
My daughter has been saving her allowance for the last few weeks hoping to find these and today we stumbled across them at TRU for retail price. For the $10 price tag she’s been very entertained this afternoon. The creature makes a variety of chirping, beeping, and random noises as it whirls around. It works much better on a tile, vinyl, or hardwood surface than on carpet. You can either have it in a cuddle type mode where you press its head and it chitters at you or press the back and it’ll run around randomly. It’s a sweet toy although noisier than I expected. The store clerk said that production is supposed to meet demand in a few weeks as Christmas draws closer. For $10 we’re happy, but I’m not sure it’s worth 2 or 3 times as much as it is a rather simple toy.

3 Stars BUY THEM @ WALMART FOR $8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh- they r just now (9/11) hitting the market and are $8 for the pet $10/15 for the acessory and $20 for the funhouse! I found all of it at Wal mart and Target is getting it…

5 Stars Fun for hours!
I bought a few of these for my daughter and she loves them. She plays on her own for hours and even when she has playdates, these are all they want to play with!

5 Stars we love ‘em!
My daughter got two hamsters (8.00 each at Walmart) and the funhouse (20.00 at Walmart) and we absolutely love them! She really wants the car, but can’t find it and can’t pay 90.00 online. We have so much fun with them, and the cat loves to watch them.

5 Stars ONLINE PRICES TOO HIGH!!!!
These are grest toys. They work great and are very cute. [...]. [...]

5 Stars Love this toy! Works just like the commercial
This is a great toy. I plan on getting my kids the rest of the add on parts to complete the city for Christmas this year. If your hamster isn’t moving like in the commercial, just change the batteries and it works perfectly! Big hit in our house!

5 Stars Love these cute hamsters!
My daughters love these hamsters! So cute!! They run and chatter – and are much cleaner and easier than a real hamster!

I am thankful to Amazon.com sellers for having these in stock! They are impossible to find! I love the convenience of not having to run all over looking for them and having them delivered to my front door! It is like having your very own personal shopper!

5 Stars Great toys!
These are a lot of fun for the kids. No problems so far. I, too, got them from Amazon, as no store by me had them in stock for weeks! It’s much easier just to buy them and have them delievered. The kids love getting packages in the mail, too. Anyway, we love these…much easier than a real hamster!
