1.0 out of 5 stars This Toy Needs To Be Recalled. Don't Bother Buying It., September 21, 2009

This review is from: Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster 2 Pack - Num Nums & Pipsqueak (Toy)

I bought this hamster toy and all its accessories for my 4 year old grand daughter. She was very excited about the toy and I thought it was a very clever toy. However, within minutes of playing with it she was pinched severely by the hamster's wheels when she picked it up and put it on her hand (just like the child in the advertisement is doing). I put the toy on my hand to see how it happened. I was shocked at how hard it pinched and would not release the skin. I had to pull the toy off me hard. The wheels spin fast and change direction randomly. It's fine on the floor if you don't pick it up. However, that's not how this toy is advertised. It is supposed to be a "pet". What child isn't going to pick up their pet hamster during play? It gets even worse. The following day, the hamster's wheels caught the child's hair and started climbing up fast to her scalp. Again, not releasing. She was screaming in pain and fear. The only thing that prevented her scalp from being cut and needing emergency treatment was that I was closely supervising her and able to get my fingers between her scalp and the wheels. She lost a clump of hair and was traumatized by it.
I've spent the last week trying to return the hamster and all its accessories that I bought through Amazon. The manufacturer was contacted, but although expressed concern does not want to take the hamster back directly and feels the warning in the instructions is sufficient. BUYER BEWARE. This is a danger and should be pulled from the market.

Terrible purchase - one of the two toys was broken within an hour of arriving and both officially no longer worked within a few days. I should have returned these but 'time is of the essence' - not really worth the effort for shipping and cost to do so. I certainly would not recommend this purchase.

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...
