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

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.
We love zhu zhu pets!

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.
Way overpriced on Amazon

We got Jilly for $10 at Walgreens, and the Funhouse is $20 at Walmart. I guess it's easier for some people to buy online, but wow, what a markup. My daughter loves them, and so far so good, the funhouse stays together quite well, and Jilly has been running for days.
Enjoyable hamster

My daughter recieved the pink zhu zhu hamster for Christmas and totally adores it! We enjoy how it zips around, makes little noises and unlike a real hamster we can shut it off and not clean up after it. She is 8 and finds it rather amusing, we are planning on getting her the accessories for her birthday and another hamster. My daughter loves animals! and finds joy in toys like her zhu zhu hamster. I would recommend this toy to others, I just wouldnt pay more then the original asking price of 9.00 - 9.99
Better than a real Hamster

Zhu Zhu Pets has kept me from having to buy a real hamster! I highly recommend if you are in that situation! Just be sure to keep them away from your childs hair, they will get caught!! They do work with all the acessories, and you don't have to clean a cage!
