Seriously, I can't believe Amazon is selling this hamster for these prices, I'm disgusted, don't waste your money! Cute for $8, only. It makes a few cute sounds but had I known this Hamster made TRAIN sounds and says "beep beep" I would have never bought it! When you press the back it says "go go go" and runs for about 1 minute before you have to press the button again. This means that when the hamster is in a tunnel or the adventure ball you have to fish him out to start all over again. My 8 year old was completely disappointed, luckily I bought when the price was still reasonable.

OK, guys, I know you want to satisfy your kids' cravings for this little hamster, but he is totally NOT WORTH the money. I bought one, and threw it out. It worked for a short time, I changed the batteries, then it worked a bit again. It is very cheaply made, and people are selling them for exhorbitant prices, ripping off those who really can't afford to pay these high prices for something that is worth [...], what I paid for it.
Get a real one instead. They are more cuddly. Sorry to spoil the party, but I would not buy this again. And shame on the people who are selling them for so much money. Sad world, isn't it?

My daughter (9 yrs.)was so excited to get this and it seemed to break right out of the package. The screw that keeps the battery compartment closed doesn't stay in which is really frustrating. My daughter lost interest within a day and it's been banished to the floor ever since. During the brief time it did work it wasn't all that interesting and would probably be most appropriate for a very young child.
