Zhu Zhu Pets Review and Giveaway

MomSelect gave me an oppurntuniy to review the new Zhu Zhu Pets . I received the entire Zhu Zhu Pets Playset!. Wow, was it overwhelming! I mean, there was sooo much! Nevertheless, it was cool as all get out!
I think we can all remember back to our childhood when we wanted our first pet. Our parents didn't want a big messy dog so we thought it'd be ingenious to compromise and get a hamster. Well, I don't know if you're finding yourself talking like your parents now or not. "Pets are a big responsibility" "You won't clean up after it"...ect. Well, the dilemma has been solved. Zhu Zhu Pets are the next best thing to giving your child a cuddly hamster to play with. I love the fact that it is all the fun without the mess! It's even better than when they die you just replace a battery. That's a whole lot better than having to make another trip to the pet store!


Zhu Zhu Pets are fun, interactive hamsters that talk, move and even navigate their way around their own habitats. Yup, just like a real hamster. These playsets are huge with a ton of add-ons to construct an ever-evolving hamster world! Oh, and the hamsters are super cute too! Check out the Zhu Zhu Pets website to see a video on how they work!

The only drawback is that Zhu Zhu Pets are recommended for 4 years plus. This is of course due to putting it together and taking it apart. My son is 3 and loves playing with it but due to it's size it cannot just stay put together all the time. So guess who gets to put it together? I don't mind so much because sadly, I love playing with them too! Just something to keep in mind with the younger kids. All in all they're great, I love them, and would highly recommend them!

Check out the website to see the video of how they work.

Now you have a chance to get one for your child! One lucky reader will win a hamster and slide to start off your set!!!

It's cool because it's a pet that doesn't need to be cleaned up after and that's great with me as long as it keeps the kiddos entertained.

steveandjodiwinn said...

These are so fun. Not only would my daughter love them but me as well. I have always wanted some kind of pet with out the hassel of taking care of them:)

I love these. I have a houseful of pets and these would be nice because I wouldn't have to feed or clean up after them...just keep them out of the dogs' mouths.

There are just so many reasons that these little guys are so cool! I had a hamster when i was a kid. I loved playing with it. Watching it roll around in it's little ball, feeding it sunflower seeds. However, I HATED cleaning up after it! There is nothing quite like the smell of rodent urine. Yuck! The best thing about Zhu Zhu pets is that there is no mess! No pee, no spilled food and water, no little nibbles on your fave shirt, and no disappearing acts!

We love these because they are the cutest little cuddly pets and they don't bite! My poor grandson has severe allergies and this would make the perfect pet for him to love and hug. Thank you so much!

My daughter is absolutely begging for a zhu zhu pet for Christmas. Unfortunately, NONE of the stores in our area carry them! I just found your blog and am now following you on Twitter as well. I am always looking for new ways to save money, especially since I lost my job in March.

These are totally cool because no mess, and no death which as I remember was kinda common with hamsters when I was a kid- they didnt live very long. :(

My son wants a pet but we can't have one due to where we live. However, I think he'd really like this. It's not the real thing, but close. Looks fun.

I love these, and my kids do too! They played with one at a friend's house & had a ball! I like that they're like a pet, without really being one. No fur to be allergic to or have floating around, no mess to clean up, etc!
