Before I left for BlogHer last month, Mom Select sent over a new playset for my kids to enjoy while I was gone called Zhu Zhu Pets. Basically, Zhu Zhu Pets is a hamster playset without having a real hamster to deal with. It was an instant hit with all of my kids. To hear my oldest daughter, who is eleven years old, giggle about a t0y, made me giggle.
Zhu Zhu Pets is a set of interconnecting play sets. You can add on more sets as you build your hamster play ground. Once you connect your sets, you simple turn on your hamster and let him go or “let him be” as my daughter says. The kids have named our hamster “Bugsy.”
Its much easier to understand just by watching:
Since these pictures and video, we’ve added a few more sets to our collection.It really is fun and since I will never allow my kids to have any pets in the house even a fish, this is the closest they will get to the real thing!

Ever since my 5 year old lil girl has seen this item thats all she has asked for, for christmas of course she dosent come out and say it she goes mommy im not even going to ask because i know you wont buy me one. well was talking to my husband about christmas stuff the other night and he decided to go ahead and get her it he accidently cancled the order and when i called back today they were all sold out we were trying to make christmas a lil more this year since the kids are suffering from their daddy being deployed right now and wont be able to spend christmas with us, my husband is so upset what happened because all he wanted to do was make sure his daughter had a smile on her face on christmas she already takes care of 2 cats and a dog and has been asking for a hamster or a bird but having cats and smaller animals just isnt a good idea i had hamsters growing up and always wanted to but moving alot in the army and havign cats its just not going to be easy for the real thing i think its wonderful they are coming out with toys like this jsut hope i am able to find this for her before christmas to make sure she is happy and takes her mind off of daddy not being home for christmas
My daughter has already seen the commercial and was really excited. It looked really cute and your review really sealed the to want this item for Christmas.
my kids have seen this on the TV… and they say MOMMY MOMMMY me want me want….. my littest is only 10 months its so cute..
Yeah! No smelly cage to clean and no hamster running in the wheel all night keeping your child awake. The perfect pet. My dd is begging for one.

How awesome is this? Where were these 20 years ago? I gave my boys the real thing. These seem so much better!
Thanks for the information.
We would like one of these pets to teach our 3 year old about caring for and playing with pets without harming or having the clean-up of a real one. It would be a training tool.
Zhu Zhu pets was such a wonderful idea and will surely be a popular toy in our home. My son loves things that move but most especially loves animals. This will be a must have for him.
Nice video! Your kids seem to really like them! My daughter screams for me every time the commercial comes on! Thanks!
I know I’m gonna get asked for these for Christmas. They are too cute and got to love the fact that there is no mess and no clean up! The things they come up with, when I was a kid, I had a pet rock. lol
It is so nice that they made a toy for a young child,with no mess!She was soooo excited when she saw the commercial.She just said I want one right a way,and she is still begging for one.
Great review! I loved the video
I know my daughter would have so much fun with these

My nephew is five years old and has seen the commercial. He is very excited and tells us how he will be getting one from Santa, I mean how could Santa possibly say no. The problem is, that we can’t find them so, we are hoping to win. He dosent care which one, he likes them all…Thanks
I think these are the greatest! We have a real hamster, but of course, I have to clean up after it!
This is the perfect pet for our family!
that is ugly
i love zhuzhu pets!!!
