4.0 out of 5 stars Real Toy review!!!
This is the base toy for all of the Zhu Zhu or Go Go pets sets... It is the hamsters house.. They know what room they are in and act accordingly.. Brush teeth in the bathroom and sleep in bed..

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the hype
My daughter wanted these after seeing them advertised on TV numerous times. If you buy the toys for regular price at Wal-Mart or ToysRUs then it's not so bad because they are very cheaply made. The funhouse comes unsnapped frequently--very cheap plastic parts. The hamster ball is also cheap and comes unsnapped, and the hamsters flip on their backs frequently and you...

This is the base toy for all of the Zhu Zhu or Go Go pets sets... It is the hamsters house.. They know what room they are in and act accordingly.. Brush teeth in the bathroom and sleep in bed.. This set has kept my children entertained for hours!!! It has gotten me out of having to buy a real Hamster and when they don't feel like playing with it - they don't have to or feel neglectful. No smell and no buying food.. I can not wait for the babies and outfits to come out. They be expensive right now because of the high demand. but still well worth it. Enjoy!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the hype, October 6, 2009

This review is from: Zhu Zhu/Go Go Pets Hamster Funhouse (Hamsters Sold Separately) (Toy)
My daughter wanted these after seeing them advertised on TV numerous times. If you buy the toys for regular price at Wal-Mart or ToysRUs then it's not so bad because they are very cheaply made. The funhouse comes unsnapped frequently--very cheap plastic parts. The hamster ball is also cheap and comes unsnapped, and the hamsters flip on their backs frequently and you have to open the ball and put them back on their feet.

The hamsters themselves are cute BUT they flip over alot when used with the component pieces and you have to put them right side up to work. They are also a bit noisey--you can hear the wheels. My daughter lost interest in them very quickly. Paying more than the base price for them is paying way too much---especially the component pieces. She has the funhouse, the blanket, the carrier, the ball, the surfboard, and the car, plus all 4 hamsters. We bought everything at once.

In summary, don't pay these outrageous prices for a cheaply made toy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Put away after one day, November 13, 2009
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Zhu Zhu/Go Go Pets Hamster Funhouse (Hamsters Sold Separately) (Toy)
My daughter saw this on T.V. and had to have it. She got it for her 7th birthday. The hamster is cute, and she still plays with that (on the hard wood floor - doesn't run well at all on carpet). However, I also bought her this funhouse along with the garage (worst piece) and the wheel. When you put it all together (which is not easy), the toy is huge. I don't really have the room for a big piece of plastic toy of this size, but I was willing to get it for her because it is all she wanted. Big mistake, you can't move it once you get it together or it falls to pieces. Sometimes the pieces just come apart. The garage never worked, and the wheel ramp never fit together correctly. This toy is such a waste of money. Holiday shoppers are getting scammed this year! Thank goodness I did not pay these ridiculous prices for this toy. I bought mine at Toys 'r us before I even knew it was going to be a big deal. To sum up - the hamsters are cute, but the rest is big, plastic junk that has now been under my daughters bed since the day after she got it (5 weeks ago) and has not seen daylight again.

This review is from: Zhu Zhu/Go Go Pets Hamster Funhouse (Hamsters Sold Separately) (Toy)
I bought this for my grandchild....cute, but the plastic locking devices that should hold the top and bottom plastic pieces together to form the funhouse, don't stay together...big disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really cute!!!, February 15, 2010

This review is from: Zhu Zhu/Go Go Pets Hamster Funhouse (Hamsters Sold Separately) (Toy)
My daughter had been asking for a hamster since she'd seen the movie G-Force. It wasn't happening since we already have a dog, cat and a fish. I'm tired. Anyway, I felt like this was the next best thing to getting another animal. after reading a lot of the reviews on this, I didn't have high hopes for this, but we went on and bought it anyway, and boy I am glad we did. She loves it. We bought this at the same time we got our first zhu zhu pet and boy, I tell ya, this is really cute. No it is not the best piece of workmanship, but hey, it's a toy, so I don't take it very seriously. It took a few minutes to figure out how to get the connectors to lock into the tunnel, but I eventually got it and it fits very securely. It is really cute the way the zhu zhu scampers thru the rooms and tunnel while making all kinds of cute noises. We are very pleased with this. Sometimes the pet gets stuck in the tunnel or falls on his side, but again, that means you just need to sit it up again and it just takes off zipping around. I'd rather it sometimes get hung or fall over and require some intervention from my daughter than for her to sit and just watch while doing nothing. After all, that keeps her engaged and interacting with her new "hamster".

I bought this funhouse and one of the pets for my niece for her 4th birthday. She LOVES it! She can't wait for Christmas because I promised to buy her more components so her "zhu zhus" can have more space to play!

I have to say, even I enjoyed this toy! It's really neat and I'm so glad that my niece enjoyed it!

Whomever came up with the ZHU ZHU Pet idea was a genius. A pet that needs no food, water, and produces no waste!!!

This is a great accessory. The kids really enjoy it and play with it often. Keeps the pets from getting lost too. My daughter says when in it they make specific noises in each room but not sure if that is true or just her imagination. Will have to investigate further and report back. Either way, the kids think it's great.

This is kind of a must for your kid that owns a zhu zhu hamster. The hamsters know where they are and make all the proper motions, potty flushing and teeth brushing in the bathroom, etc. It does fall apart easily, but, for the most part, the kids set it up and take it apart as they go along so it's not a huge deal, just a little frustrating.
