What Customers Are Saying: “The hamsters are very cute and ours runs on the wheel and thru the tunnels just fine” “I'm ordering more for Christmas and getting them for my neices as well”

Zhu Zhu Pets... they Zhooooom!

This video shows a couple of kids playing with their entire Zhu Zhu hamster set up, including their Zhu Zhu Pets Mr Squiggles hamster wheel. The start of the video is a great reminder of the typical unwrapping mess that excited kids go through to get their hamster Funhouse and exercise wheel set up. As you can see from the video, the hamster runs quite happily up the tunnel and onto the hamster wheel all by itself, does some exercise, makes all sorts of cute noises and then gets off to get up to more exploring. Obviously the kids love it and have a setup that will no doubt keep them entertained for hours on end!

I think we got a good wheel.. its cute!

We have the wheel for the zhu-zhus.. and I'm seeing a lot of comments that the wheel doesnt spin freely - well, ours sure does! All three of our zhu-zhus can run in the wheel freely, and it spins just fine here! Perhaps for some it wasnt put together properly? Not sure there.. but we bought a wheel that works just fine!

And, this add on accessory happens to be one of the more sturdy ones - we have never had a problem with this particular accessory falling apart or coming undone.. it stays put! The hamster does not get stuck in the tunnel here.. but, you do have to help the zhu-zhu back into the tunnel (just by pushing its nose, redirecting it to go back into the tunnel) when he is "done" exercising ("done" defined when you are done seeing him run in the wheel!) - So, it would be nice if the zhu-zhu would go back into the tunnel after entering the wheel by itself.. but it doesnt. Nevertheless, this accessory gets a 5 stars b/c it is a lot of fun, stays together, and for us the wheel does spin freely.. and man do those zhu-zhus love a good workout!

The wheel was the only add-on I purchased for my daughter and it works great! The only problem is that I actually need more then one because the two ZZP actually fight over the wheel. Other then that everything works great. The hamster gets in, makes a squeaking sound (the sound of a wheel turning) and decides when it's ready to get out. Well worth the $15 I paid at Wal-mart, NOT the crazy prices seen here.

This is a fun addition to our collection. Pets enter through the tube and run on the wheel just like a real hamster. Kids really enjoy it.

I am so excited to be able t give this toy as a gift for Christmas to my nieces. They asked specifically for the Zhu Zhu pets and accessories. As soon as I have more feedback I will respond. It look to be alot of fun. The product seems to be somewhat durable.I didn't like the fact that I had to pay a premium price for these items. Fortunately I bought them early and didn't have to pay as much as others. I plan to wait to buy the additional accessories as I see them in the stores at fair retail value prices.

The Good and the Bad

Review Date: October 20, 2009

Reviewer: Elizabeth Hall, St. Louis, MO

We've got pretty much all of the accesories for the Zhu Zhu pets. The wheel actually does not move freely very well but the hamster will go down the tunnel get on the wheel and run in place then back down the tunnel. At first I was very dissappointed that the wheel wasn't really spinning (it does move but spinning is a stretch) but my 4 year old didn't seem bothered by it. now I actually kind of prefer this one because it's one that actually keeps the hamster contained in the funhouse. The slide lets the hamster out onto the floor as does the car and garage which is fine if you have a very large area for the whole set but the hamster runs better in the plastic pieces. As for durability the slide and garage are constantly coming detached (the 2 year old tends to knock them around) but this one has stayed attached pretty good, maybe because the tunnel is shorter than others. If you're not familiar with these you should know the accessories are snap together pieces - the plastic isn't flimsy but the fact that they just 'snap' together means they also snap apart rather easily. So while the accessories are constantly coming apart or detached they aren't breaking (which is good) but my 4 year old can't really snap them back together on his own so it's more work for me.

It wasn't really worth the price because they get stuck in the tunnels, they don't move around as easy as they should. They don't go around the wheel at all.

Zhu Zhu hamster wheel is good fun!

Review Date: January 31, 2010

Reviewer: Lynn A. Laskoe, Buffalo Grove, IL United States

I purchased this hamster wheel for Zhu Zhu pets for my daughter's hamsters. It was easy to assemble and add on to the main "house." It is a lot of fun to watch the hamsters run into the tunnel and then run in the wheel. The only thing I find is that some of the hamsters (my daughter has Num Num, Mr. Squiggles, and Pipsqueak) fall over when in the wheel and must be "righted" before they can continue. After a while the hamsters sometimes do find their way out of the wheel and back into the tunnel that connects to the main house. With multiple hamsters sometimes Pipsqueak will be in the wheel and Mr. Squiggles will enter the tunnel causing a bit of a problem in the wheel which must be attended to before both hamsters fall over. My daughter really enjoys watching the pets run in the wheel and it doesn't take up much space. Overall it's great fun!

This wheel spins great for us. We have several Zhu Zhu Pets accessories and the wheel and the garage are my favorites. We've never had issues with it spinning and I'm amazed at how the hamster is able to get inside it, spin backwards, spin forwards, and then work his way back out of the wheel and into the habitat. Also, we received one of the first Zhu Zhu Pets habitats back in the summer, so my kids have had it since July and are STILL playing with it every day or two. LOVE IT!
