 I am surprised to see it's a hit for 4-year & 9-year-old nieces January 3, 2010

I heard of these toys from a friend but didn't really think much about it. A little mechanical hamster that runs around and makes some noise, nah.... that's what I thought and I said to myself that I would never buy such a toy for my kids. Then I intended to buy some play doh or coloring books for my nieces who will visit us, and I saw these little guys on the shelf. I asked a sale's person, and he explained to me why this is popular and fun with kids, and somehow he convinced me that this would make a fun toy for 4 and 9 years old girls. So I decided to go for it.
Well, my nieces were very happy to hold them in their hands, find a small box to put them in with dish towel over them as a blanket, and then carry the box all around the house. And they even built a little house and entry way with magna tiles (which is my favorite toy anyway) to sleep in or hide in. I could see them nurturing and caring of a pet.
I realized that when you're a little kid, it is just great to have a toy that makes a little sound and scoot around in the living room, and just right size to hold it in your small hands... They might get bored of it having them for 6 months. But for the moment, this hamster is the best thing ever for my nieces. Great invention that has brought lots of smiles to my nieces. And also pure luck being at a store when they have them.
Personally, I'm not reviewing this for the price. I'm simply reviewing a toy based on what reaction I've received after giving them to 2 preteen girls.
 Very Cute But Doesn't Last December 27, 2009

I purchased, "Jilly" for my daughter for Christmas. I was so excited to see they had a pink one! She received it on Christmas Eve and it worked great. It was so cute! She didn't play with it much yesterday since we were out and about. However, today she pulled it out and it worked for about five minutes. Then she brought it to me...no sound and it would not move. I naturally replaced the batteries...nothing. I then took the whole thing apart. I was able to get the sound to work when the nose (which fell out incidentally)is pushed. However, the buttons on the top no longer work at all and the wheels no longer turn. I have read multiple reviews on Toys R Us.com that complain about this very same problem! This is such a shame. I know these things are cheap, but do they really have to stop working after only a full day of play? My daughter is so disappointed and so am I. I will be calling the company on Monday...keeping my fingers crossed that they will send me a replacement as these are impossible to find now.

They are silly, yes. But they are so fun and not to mention adorable. We have had ours for about 3 months and we have had no problems with the durability. I wish people would stop giving the toys bad reviews because they are mad about the mark-up (which does suck) because these toys are fun! I have just as much fun with them as my three year old son,and 10 year old niece! We barely use the accessories though, they were sort of a waste of money. My kiddo just lets his run all around the floor, and sometimes the hamster ball. The other stuff just collects dust.
"stupid mouse" March 30, 2010

My daughter recieved this as a xmas gift and rarely plays w/ it. The "stupid mouse" as she calles it, scares her.(shell be 3)she gets pinched in the wheels (which have a very strong motor) almost every time she plays with it. She would rather have me turn it on and put it down so it can chase her while she runs screaming.
Unique toy! Kids will enjoy them. March 2, 2010

I purchased two of these while on vacation in Laguna beach. I gave them both to my 2 and 3 year old. They immediately loved them and now three months later are still playing with them. The only thing you should know is that eventually hair and dust gets wrapped around the wheels not allowing for them to run. Don't throw them away unless you want to purchase them every other week or so. The way to resolve this issue is to simply take the Zhu Zhu a part. It is a fairly simple task. Just clean the wheels with tweezers and a needle. Once completed your Zhu Zhu runs like new. We currently have four Zhu Zhu's without any of the extras. My children love them.
