4 Stars How do these vendors sleep at night?!
DO NOT PAY THESE PRICES. Call your local TOYSRUS and ask which days they get shipments. Then go those mornings. After 2 Tuesday trips, I had every piece I was looking for. Amazon should not allow people to price gorge like this. These vendors are the ones that go to ToysRUs and buy everything, so the supply is low then mark it up. If they didn’t do that, it wouldn’t be in short supply! Not sure how they can sleep at night!

4 Stars Great Toy, Overpriced here
This is a really cute toy and I am hoping it makes my daughters happy so I don’t have to buy a REAL hamster which is what they really want(LOL). BUT, these prices are ridiculous. Amazon is fulfilling these orders through 3rd parties who are setting the prices so I don’t exactly blame Amazon, BUT it is disappointing the way Amazon is marketing them. However, if you promised a little one these toys, this may be the only way to get them. Someone I know contacted the manufacturer and from what I understand the stores are only getting so many before Christmas and then thats it. Apparently they haven’t been able to make enough to keep up with the demand. I spoke to someone at Walmart today and they said that they already got their allotment and they won’t be getting any more before the holidays and they were sold out already. YIKES!

5 Stars zhuzhu pets
this gift was a request for christmas, sems to be the toy request for the year, great transaction thanks

3 Stars overpriced
If I hadn’t promised this toy to my Grandchild I would have NEVER have purchased it. It wss not a “zhu Zhu”,I can’t rmrember the brand, I have since purchased another at a local Toy store and realized the one I got on line was a knock off. Shame on Me, but it will never happen again.

I didn’t know this toy was so popular and my four year old (after seeing tons of commercials} asked for one, after I said yes and could find one no where in town I resorted to amazon.

My Grandchild is so happy with the pet, I accidently stopped in a toy store, they had very few left but I was able to purchase not only the Hampster, but one of the assesories She wanted for LESS money then I paid for the Hampster on line!

4 Stars Painful Days Are These
I’m more than a bit disappointed in Amazon, usually my favorite “mall” of choice. This little toy – one of “the hottest Christmas toys of 2009″ is designed to be an excellent gift in this difficult times. I picked one up a few weeks ago because it seemed interesting and I needed a small gift for a hospital party with a $[...] limit.

The child who received it was over-the-top excited and I watched the faux rodent zip, dodge and weave all across the floor. It even had all of the adults entranced and laughing.

Handed from kid to kid, dropped, run into furniture and inspected completely by ten four year olds, I believe it is pretty durable.

The other party goers agreed it was a super gift.

At [...] apiece, parents with a couple of young ones can make a super holiday splash with the little stuffed pets and their accessories. What could better as we head into what will surely be a tough holiday for so many?

I’m lucky, my son is grown so the urgency of fun stuff for a budget holiday has receded. His gifts are easy (well, sort of!). But we still have little ones in the family and I certainly recall tough years when we struggled to try and make sure all of the kids enjoyed that same delight on Christmas we had as kids.

Great toy, buy it for [...]

4 Stars 4 stars…only if you paid the $7each suggested retail price & didn’t get ripped off.
If you can’t find one of these for your kids….wait. Don’t be stupid & pay $50 or even $100 that some of these jerks are trying to get for them. They just aren’t worth it!! My son got one & likes it fine, but months ago he got another hamster like this one at Cracker Barrell that had a wheel & was every bit as cute for $15!!!! They just aren’t that special & they will be trying to give them away in stores after Christmas & the kids that got them will have lost all interest by then anyways!!!!!!

5 Stars Yay for Zhu Zhu pets – I’m glad they work. Stock up on the AAA batteries because your kids will love their new pets
I got up early and was able to get Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters at WalMart. So glad because I know they are selling out stores because I’ve been calling everywhere.

Anyway, my kids have been playing with them all day. And then hair got wrapped around the little wheel and I thought one had broke so I spent forever trying to get the hair off — but that’s not what was making an additional squealing noise and making the wheels stop turning.

The little Zhu Zhu pets hamsters just needed new batteries. They came with 2 AAA batteries from the manufacturer — and I’m sure they weren’t in the store that long so that little hands could’ve worn out the batteries thru the “try me” window.

They must’ve just come with batteries not as good as the ones I changed them into. Because I just popped in some Duracel or whatever batteries — and now the Zhu Zhu Pets run even faster than when we first bought them this morning.

My children are playing with them as I write.

Now we want all the Zhu Zhu pets in the collection — and the accessories. Maybe by Christmas or before…

Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Hamster Wheel

Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Hamster Wheel




Special ZhuZhu Pets habitat accessory wheel and tunnel. They love to jump on and off the wheel all by themselves. ZhuZhu Pets hamsters sold separately.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star If the wheel spins for you, you’re one of the lucky ones. Disappointment to my child.
I looked on youtube and saw that the wheel was working for the families that were on there. It looked cute and real so I got one for my daughter. I set it up as the directions told me to. The wheel never spun freely. The hamster will get in the wheel, get stuck, and back its way out of it. Complete disappointment to me but most importantly a disappointment to my 4 year old. The car and garage has some issues too but still works somewhat. The wheel doesn’t not work at all for us. So if you purchase this product its sort of like playing the lottery. If it works you’re one of the lucky ones. If it doesn’t, you’re stuck with a piece of crap.

5 Stars MY KIDS LOVE THESE TOYS
My kids LOVE these toys. The hamsters are very cute and ours runs on the wheel and thru the tunnels just fine. It keeps them entertained! I’m ordering more for Christmas and getting them for my neices as well.

1 Star Don’t Waste Your Money Terrible!
These toys don’t work. They get stuck constantly, the plastic tubes are cheap and break very easily. My child got very frustrated and bored quickly. Don’t waste your money. If you must try this, wait until they are at Walmart or Target for $7.

5 Stars so cute
“very fun in the apartment.. we did not have room for the cage, and when we go on vacation no worries!”

5 Stars We love our hamster Leroy!
First of all, we bought our hamster at The Cracker Barrel [...].(No it wasn’t on clearance.) Secondly, we love him! I saw him and thought he looked fun and thought the kids would get a kick out of him. My 3 year old was terrified of him at first but she loves him now and I’m pretty sure she thinks he’s real. My son who is 7 has fun with him too! He makes his way around the whole house and it’s just like he’s our pet hamster minus the mess and smell! Just a warning though, make sure your toddler knows not to put the hamster on their head. haha!!! My daughters hair got wrapped around the wheels and he was stuck on her head. It was hysterical but she lost a chunk of hair… But all is good. It was [...] well spent.

4 Stars Fun toy
Our school fundraising event had this item as a gift for selling 50 items. My kids are lucky to sell 5. My daughter was devastated as she really wanted this toy. So for Christmas I bought it for her and she loves it! It really is fun running around the house and our dogs sure are entertained by it. It was well worth the $7.95 plus shipping we spent. I have a very happy 8 year old who didn’t have to sell $1000 worth of junk to get it! :)

5 Stars Price Rip Off
I saw this in the Memphis airport for 12 dollars in the store. I did not have time to stop and buy but they had it for 12 dollars plus tax. This vendor is a rip off wanting over 50 dollars for it. And we all thought airport stuff was overpriced.

This is a great toy for my son as he is allergic to cats and dogs and other pets that he wants. He loves this and follows it around the house.

5 Stars Lots of fun!
The kids love it, we’ve had it for awhile and they still play with it like it’s the first day they got it, all their friends want one now too! It wasn’t too expensive, and best of all, no vet bills! Need I say more?

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Don’t Waste Your Money
These accessories are for a hamster “pet” toy that is dangerous and should be taken off the market. There is no need for these accessories as the hamster should not be picked up by a child. When petting the hamster, the wheels can easily engage and start spinning rapidly and change direction randomly. This can and has caused severe pinching. The wheels don’t release, either when caught on even a 1/2″ thickness of skin. You have to rip the toy off you if you get caught in it. My grand child was almost scalped playing with the hamster when it caught her hair in the wheels, did not release and started climbing to her scalp. If she were not under close supervision at the time, she would have ended up in the emergency room with stitches. This hamster doesn’t need a bed and blanket. It needs a glue trap.

3 Stars Hamster carrier and blankets
I got this at Wal-Mart for only five dollars, why are you guys ripping us off here, just because we are now on the hunt for Christmas stuff? We work hard for our money, and certainly won’t waste it on this item that’s 800% more expensive than regular dept. stores, not to mention your shipping is out of anyones price range!
