 WAY OVERPRICED November 19, 2009

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.

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!

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.

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.
Love this toy, but make sure you get PATCHES with it!!! October 26, 2009

We bought this for our daughter and the first time we received it, the seller was sent us a funhouse with Chunk!! This is clearly a listing for Funhouse with Patches inside of it!! Be sure you read the sellers comments because alot of them are trying to sneak a different hamster with it!!! We finally received the Funhouse with patches and hooked it up with all the other accessories and my children just love playing with the Zhu Zhu Pets and their accessories. We haven't had any problems with it at all. When our kids' friends come over this is the one toy they have to play with, and can't get enough of.
