Product Description
Each Zhu Zhu Hamter has its own unique personality & whimsical sounds. Loving Mode: Pet them, love them, hear them chatter Explore Mode: Let them scoot, scamper, across the floor. Provide them with their Hamster Habitat.
I've just chosen Mr. Squiggles as an example (and he seems to be the most popular at the moment). If you click through, check out the other Zhu Zhu Hamsters. They come in different colors, and all have their own personalities and sounds.

Here's a quick rundown on their personalities:

Mr. Squiggles (light brown): a modern-day Houdini
Chunk (white): a laid-back surfer with a big heart
Num Nums (gray): shy but sweet
Pipsqueek (yellow): a daredevil with the curiosity of a dozen cats

I've listed these guys for preschool-aged kids (and up) because there are small parts.

Also, be sure to check out their habitats, like the funhouse, hamster wheel, and add-on garage.

I got a Zhu Zhu hamster for my 7 year old son's birthday in September. He loves it and takes it to school with him everyday so it is durable. My 9 and 11 year old play with it also.

One of my friends got this toy and I love it! It's very cute, and I love the little noises it makes.
Here are answers to the questions there have been confusion about:
1. Does it have and off switch? Yes, It's nose turns it off and on.
2.Does it get stuck in your hair? That hasn't happened to my friend but I've heard it can. So I would just suggest not holding it near your head, or turning it off first. :)
3. Does it pinch your hand? That hasn't happened to me, but I've noticed if you just hold it near the front, pick it up from the top, or turn it off first, you shouldn't have any problems.
4. Does it need new batteries when you first get it? From what I've heard yes, because kids in the store will wear it out by using *try me*. They require 2 TRIPLE A BATTERIES each.
5. WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH? It doesn't cost that much at all stores, if you watch Amazon, it lowers very now and then, but I would suggest going to ToysRus where you can get it for only $9.99!
6. What surfaces can it go on? I know it goes well on flat surfaces, We even played with it in the driveway and on my scooter ramp! *I wouldn't suggest using the white one outside because It would probably get dirty.*
7. Will the zhu zhus get stuck? Sometimes they will, but all you have to do is pick them up and put them back down. It's no big deal.

These aren't exactly like real hamsters, and keep in mind that the top is soft, but the bottom is hard.
They're really cute, and It's fun to test out different homemade ramps too. I would definitely suggest getting one! (But at ToysRus)

Don't buy on here or Ebay, wait until Wal-Mart and Toys -R-Us gets them back in stock, I am sure this will probably be a Black Friday item. I wouldn't buy any of these over $8.00 since that is what they sell for in the stores. These people should be ashamed pf themselves, they are the ones who rush out to buy all them up them get on Amazon and Ebay and sell them for outrageous prices.

My grandchildren are in awe of them. They watch them for hours and hours. I love them, too.
