Zhu Zhu Review
Picked up two of these guys the other day (this was my second) since they happened to be in the store and I happened to be in the store. A little bit of background first: I'm a 26 year-old collector of many things including robotic pets. I've tried out Furbys, Micropets, Neopets, Scoozie pets, Petal-chi, Mutsu, Fureal Friends, and more so I consider myself a bit of an expert on the subject. 

To start with, zhu zhu pets eat batteries, have triple A's on hand. Second, I don't have any playsets, I'm just testing the hamsters. 

Upon opening and removing this little guy I tried out "cuddle mode", which was a little disappointing. The hamster will lie still and make cute noises every few seconds or so but he isn't really responding to anything. "Try me mode" is when the hamster is off but you can push his nose to hear a random noise, not a lot of fun there. Now play mode, that's where the fun is. The wheels are fast and the grip is really strong, I promptly put it on my boyfriend to see if it would climb up his shirt and it did, hit the back of the couch, made a springy noise and ran back down. Even he cracked up at it. It tackles carpet and all hard surfaces no problem, and makes a ton of different noises, some 40 in all, and each of the four designs sounds unique!. You have to be careful around stairs but all in all it does what it was made to do and cheaply at that. At normal retail they're cheaper than most action figures. 

Remember these are for ages 3 and up and have motorized parts. It says in the instruction to supervise your child, so do so. Risk is probably minimal but if you have a kid you wouldn't give a RC car to then they're probably too little for these. 

So to wrap up 

Good: Funny and varied sounds, cheap, cute, runs fast and randomly, fascinates my dog! 
Bad: Hard to find (for now), eats batteries (2 AAA), can pinch, can be broken with a moderate impact. 

Have a hamster good day!

My kind of hamster
Anyway, the Zhu Zhu Pets are a great toy for my 4 year old who wanted a hamster and good for me too, seeing that I do not want a smelly rodent to clean up after. They're cute and I love the names. - Amazon Reviewer

Zhu Zhu Hamster Toy
My 10 year old daughter LOVES this toy. It's sold out in the local stores. This seller had it for a reasonable price. The seller sent it quickly and in the original package. 

The toy comes with batteries. You touch its head or nose and it makes cute sounds. It has wheels on the bottom to scoot around. If you buy the other accessories like the Hamster Ball and the hamster scoots around in that too. 

The toy is pricey because it moves. My daughter is happy to have one for now. Maybe the longer the toy is on the market, perhaps the price will drop. - Amazon
