4.0 out of 5 stars My Kids LOVE Their Zhu Zhu Pets, September 25, 2009

By	Angela Greig (Mableton, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

We were lucky enough to be chosen to do a product review of Zhu Zhu Pets. We received several components of the habitat plus one hamster. It took a little time to figure out exactly how the components of the habitat fit together, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to add another part to the hamster's playground. Each hamster has its own personality. The hamsters roam around their habitat (or loose through my house) by themselves. The kids can't keep their hands off of them, but that's OK, too, because the hamsters won't bite back when you pull their tails. Ha ha. I think the car is the best accessory. The hamster really goes into the car and drives it out of the garage. Too cute. It's nowhere near a real hamster, but it's a fun toy. Of course, there's no mess to clean up, either, parents. [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Zhu Zhu Pets are Great!, October 27, 2009

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.

Amazon Verified Purchase

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!
