This is such a cute toy! Sure, the plastic isn't of the highest quality, but children enjoy the set and the original retail price is very reasonable. The funhouse, which is really the base for the entire Zhu Zhu world, consists of two circular rooms and a "hallway" (or tunnel) which connects them. The tunnel has grooves on it that cause the hamster to make various sounds... doorbell/knocking sounds for the bedroom and splashing/gurgling sounds for the bathroom. The floor is printed with images of blankets, hamster food, a sink, and other such essentials. Our little one loves to pretend that she is giving the hamster a bath or tucking it into bed.
The little hamster that comes with the set, Patches, is very sweet and cuddly. She FLEW across our hardwood floor once we changed the batteries, so keep in mind that the original batteries are really for store use only, and don't be alarmed if your hamster seems a little sluggish; a new set of batteries will perk it right up. You really only need one hamster to enjoy the set, but it's hysterical to put in two or more at the same time - they'll bounce off of each other and chatter together. Best of all, a simple press to the hamster's back turns it off. Try that with a real pet!

We've got it about a month ago. My kids are still playing with zhu zhu pets every day. Amazing! They are having great fun!
We started with funhouse and one hamster, and end up building the whole city.
My little one even sleeps with one of them, so we had to take batteries out of Nugget.
I recommended this toy to all my friends with kids from 3 to 8 y.o.

My daughter got this toy for her 6th birthday. She loves it! Plays with it all of the time. The hamsters are cute and make cute sounds but not too loud. They work great. We do replace the batteries quite often. She now wants accessories and that can be expensive, but overall-a great toy.

I hope no one is actually going to pay so much for this toy, which I bought for $20 at Wal-mart. Retailers, it is morally wrong to overcharge people this much for a toy that retails at $20.
The toy itself works well with a functioning Zhu Zhu Pet. Note I qualified that sentence with the word "functioning," as Zhu Zhu Pets should probably be called Zhu Zhu Lemmings, such is their tendency toward self-destruction. Within 30 seconds of firing this thing up, my child's Zhu Zhu pet rolled into the crack between the refrigerator and the wall and then turned the corner. My husband and I pulled the refrigerator out and liberated the pet from the dust bunnies. Five minutes later I found it trying to escape out of the dog's water bowl. I took it apart to let it dry, and it thankfully continued to work. Until my kid put it in her hair TWICE. The hair locking around the wheels did some damage to the rolling mechanism, but unfortunately did NOT damage the little thing's voicebox. So it rolls around in a lopsided way screaming GO GO GO even though it can only kind of waddle, and my kid has a frickin Dennis-the-Menace style chunk out of the back of her head. I paid $8 for that hamster, and if I'd have paid $40 online for it, I don't think I'd be able to live with myself today.

Bought this for my 5 and 3 year olds. They love the Go Go Pets! The hamsters run around the funhouse and go to all of the attached rooms as shown on the TV commercial. We have all of the attachments (wheel, car, slide, etc) and they work great!! My kids LOVE this toy!

My 6 year old son saw this toy and very much wanted it. Believing the ads about the toy we purchased it. When we got it and set it up we realized that the toy did nothing! The little hampster gets stuck in the tubes, it doesn't behave like a real one and all it does is go back and forth. For the excessive price of this toy we expected a lot more. It is completely over priced and really was an unbelievable waste of money. We are sending it back as quickly as we can.

If you're looking for the "exclusive" hamster Patches to complete your collection, (and you don't want to shell out big bucks for the giant hamster city), make sure you get this set with Patches instead of the smaller "starter" set that also comes with Patches. This set includes the larger hamster fun house, while the starter set only has a figure-eight enclosure with half a roof. For the small price difference, this set is much nicer. And if you're giving this as a gift, this set looks nice, while the starter set has a cheap look to it.

Track pieces don't connect properly and the thing is pretty much junk. My five year old niece messed with this for roughly 20 minutes. I got her LittleBigPlanet as well. She would rather watch ME PLAY A VIDEOGAME then play with this. Don't be fooled. Just because they sell like crazy, doesn't mean it's worth it. Seriously, get a classic connection toy if you must. Legos, Knex something other than this.

Brought this for my daughters. Hard to assemble. The hamsters don't always go over the grooves on the inside once it's assembled. Read more

Cute idea -- Bad quality
A very cute idea falls apart right before your eyes if you purchase this starter set and perhaps add-ons for a "zhu-zhu" city. Read more

Great starter set!
It's no fun just having the hamsters and more expensive to buy each item separately. We bought this for a friend's birthday. Read more

Funhouse
The granddaughters love the Zhu Zhu pets, but the funhouse would not stay together. The animals kept breaking out and having to be put back in.
