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…

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!

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.

1 Star More Like Aggravation Ball
Nothing adventurous about this ball! More like aggravation! The pet does not roll with the ball it falls on its side and the ball falls apart!
4 Stars Be careful
Be careful who you are buying from. Realize that Amazon isn’t the one charging these prices. It is the sellers. Definitely do your homework because in some cases the sellers are charging 3xs the retail value for these toys simply because they are popular. I personally do not think Amazon should allow such sellers because it does turn people off to this site and if they are legit sellers they really do not need to be taking advantage of people.
Great toy. Wait it out and you’ll get one for ten dollars or less.
3 Stars Wait till the prices come down, then buy
I brought the hamsters at TrU for $[...] each. The toys are cute but only worth the original retail price. The prices charged by the third party re-sellers are heavily marked up. The manufacturer gets no benefit from this situation as it causes bad will against the company and the product. Ditto for Amazon. I bet that the manufacturer is ramping up production as fast as possible and that these will be in stock in huge numbers pretty soon and those who brought out the first inventory will be forced to reduce their prices for the toys they still have. Such is the law of supply and demand. These will certainly be available before Christmas.
4 Stars Amazon is a rip-off
I verified the above review and in some cases,Amazon is charging 6 times more than Toys R Us. Check out the 3 hamster set at Toys R Us for 22.99. Amazon is selling it for $139.98!!!! I used to buy all of my Christmas presents from Amazon. Not anymore!
5 Stars Learned My Lesson This Time!
Ok I admit I spoil my kids! When they see these ZHU ZHU PETS on TV, they of course want them and I cave and off we go looking LITERALLY ALL OVER TOWN TRYING TO FIND THEM! We must have went to 8-10 stores and have YET TO FIND AN ACTUAL ZHU ZHU PET HAMSTER! Most stores don’t even have an empty rack as they must not be carrying them yet! And three of the stores were Toyrus and each one said they can’t keep them on the shelves.
Six Hours Later, We did finally find one lone ADVENTURE BALL for which we now have with no Zhu Zhu pet yet! But we did try it out with the neighbors Zhu Zhu Hamster and it is Hilarious as it acts like a Real Hamster in The Adventure Ball. So as I always do whether it’s Bakugan, Littlest Pet Shop, Star Wars, Barbie, and now Zhu Zhu Pets I end up WASTING TONS of TIME and GAS MONEY trying to find them at Multiple Stores when I should have Just Paid A Little Extra and Had them Shipped Right To my Door by Buying them off Amazon…Oh well, Live and Learn I Guess!
