Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster 2 Pack - Num Nums & Pipsqueak

Read the review!

Mini Review

Like countless others, we purchased these amazingly advertised pets for our grandchildren & youngest daughter (ages 4, 7 & 10) along with the giant city & slide. The kids got to play with them for hours on Christmas day, but that's where it ended. Within 1 day, the clips that hold the pieces together started not holding the unit together (causing the pieces to come apart repreatedly & making the hamsters not work properly whle going over the connections). The pets died within a couple hours, which we replaced batteries, and after a few minutes they were back to working poorly, slowed down very quickly, etc. Now we have a hamster (Jilly) that only makes a few noises, the wheels won't move (we just put new batteries in her) so we are going to contact the manufacturer to see what to do. Overall, this is the most disappointing Christmas toy we have ever purchased (I have never left a review so that should tell you how terrible this has been). Also READ the PRECAUTIONS - it is listed so it's not their fault, but our 4 year old granddaughter was holding the hamster & started screaming, I looked over & it had gotten caught in her hair, we followed the directions like it said, but you don't have time to do what they say because the hamster was up to her scalp in a split second. We ended up cutting her hair off, now she has a bald spot. ALSO the hamster ball is extremely hard to put together & then there is a stabilizer you are supposed to use in order to keep the hamster upright, never did this work, the hamster kept falling over & we didn't get to use the ball anymore (the kids were very disappointed).Zhu Zhu Pets - Funhouse Set with Hamster
