Zhu Zhu Pets Review and Giveaway
Zhu Zhu Pets are fun, interactive hamsters that talk, move and even navigate their way around their own habitats. And the best thing about these pets? No mess and no fuss…just hours of interactive play! This is how Zhu Zhu Pets were introduced to us and this is exactly what it was.
My 3 year old constantly asks me for a dog, a cat or a pink mouse as a pet. My husband and I are not ready for another responsibility especially since my daughter has been potty trained for a year now. We got her a beta fish but cleaning that bowl at least once a week is time consuming already so having Zhu Zhu pets was perfect timing. The hamsters are extremely interactive especially when the whole set is connected. They go in and out of different rooms, can go up and down the ramps to the garage. It’s really like having a real hamster except there is no mess, it doesn’t smell and this one needs battery instead of pellets 
. Having the whole set takes time to put together and you have to make sure it clicks properly so the hamster navigates without any problem. It also takes quite a bit of space but it entertains kids for hours. We had a dinner party and all the kids were around staring and taking turns with our Zhu Zhu pets.
One lucky weefinds reader will win the a set of Zhu Zhu pets – 1 hamster with 1 ramp/slide. All you have to do is comment on this post about what you like about Zhu Zhu pets.

I think Zhu Zhu pets are a brilliant idea. Just think a pet that you don’t have to clean up afer or worry about taking to the vet. It is the perfect pet. Good luck to everyone.
My 3 year old LOVES pets, but isn’t quite old enough yet to have one just for herself. I think the Zhu Zhu pets are a great intro into owning your own pet for a young kid and I think she would love one!
I love the fact that it is a pet that won’t die and you don’t have to clean up after. I don’t have to worry about one of my kids stepping on it and killing it LOL.
Family pet without all of the responsibilities. Great training method. Hubby has been asking for a dog for my 2 yr. old. I told him absolutely not because I would be the one taking care of it, not him or my son. When my little guy is older and can walk and feed the dog daily then not a problem. We also do not have a yard so zhu zhu is perfect.

Love this! My children can have a pet and I don’t have to clean up after it, feed it, or worry about it! Great idea!
My son LOVES dogs. Whenever we see one, he always wants to pet it. We dread the day we’ll have to get him his own. Maybe a zhu zhu pet would be enough to hold him off for a couple years.
I like that they have lots of accessories that you can use with them and of course that they aren’t messy like a real pet
I think Zhu Zhu Pets are one of the best Christmas gift ideas I’ve heard of in a long time. My girls (ages 2,5,8) have been asking for a pet for as long as I can remember. However, I am allergic to pet dander which puts quite the damper on the whole pet idea. This would give them the experience without the allergen issues or the mess. Thank you so much!!!
I love that I wouldn’t have to pay a pet deposit at our Apartments. My 6 year old really wants a pet. It’s a toy so he’ll have to have a good imagination.
I agree that even fish are plenty time consuming. My 4 year old got goldfish from grandma last summer and I must admit, I was not upset at all when they died! My daughter asks weekly for a new pet and I am just not ready for a live one yet.
a cute furry pet, without the having to clean up after it, cant get any better than that. I live in a small apt so this is really the only kind of pet we could have that wouldn’t have the place smelling like we keep a bunch of farm animals, lol!
I’ve heard lots about these zhu zhu pets,and they are definitely cute! I like that they are simple to use and great fun for the kiddos!
I love that it is a “pet” that I won’t have to clean up after or worry about it dying. My DD loves all animals for about a day then she loses interest. This is a great solution!! It seems way more interactive than “real” ones and you don’t have to worry it will bite!!
we had real hamsters for a while but they stunk, took up too much room and were a lot of work. these seem like they would be PERFECT!!
I love that I won’t have to remind my children to take care of these! I am tired of saying check the water bowl…have you fed the frogs…have you fed the hermit crabs…?
my daughter wants these SO bad. I had no clue what she was talking about until I looked them up on the internet. I am hoping to get her some for christmas
My daughter SOOO wants one of these. Before we get a real pet, I would like to see how she does with this!
I like the fact that we would not have to make boarding/petsitting arrangements for them when we go on vacation.
My daughter really wants a zhu zhu pet…and I love that there is no cage to clean out…and no real live hamster to get loose in the house.
What I love about Zhu Zhu Pets? Everything! They are the cutest toy I have ever seen. They play and scurry and they don’t bite. You can hold and cuddle them. My grandson can play with them without the worry of causing a bad allergy reaction. I could go on and on! Thank you for the fantastic giveaway!
One of the best things of having our Zhu Zhu pets is they don’t smell. They are very cuddly and adorable.
I like that Zhu Zhu Pets aren’t messy like a real pet and you don”t have to be concerned about them dying
I like them because my daughter loves them and I think it is a great interactive toy that will keep her away from the tv/computer!
I like them because they are just the pet for my kids..Don’t have to feed or water them or more important clean the cage.
Whether they take interest in the Zhu Zhu Pet for a week or a year… you won’t have to have the “heaven” talk with your kids over them. Wish they were more readily available.
Zhu Zhu pets are cute and furry, they help me by letting me get my house chores done while entertaing my kids.

Zhu Zhu Pets are perfect for the kiddo who wants a pet so badly but cannot have one. We live in a small apartment, and landlord says no pets! These are realistic, but without the smell or mess – a great idea
I love that they make no mess and are affordable!

The Zhu Zhu pets are just like hamsters except without the mess. I know that my three year old grandson would just love to have these for pets. My daughter is a single parent and already has two big dogs – a German Shepard and a Golden Retriever. She already has enough messes to clean up.
Thank you,

My girls would absolutely love these things. This would be a fun way for them to “practice” having a pet without the mess. Plus, it looks like WAY too much fun!!
Looking for Zhu Zhu pets for the daughter of an old friend… my two kids aren’t even interested in Zhu Zhus… but I’m on the hunt for them anyway!!! Following you on Twitter (ce11ce) and Facebook.
I love pets, but my sister isn’t into them. Unfortunately her kids really want one! I think this would be really fun for them – an interactive toy that doesn’t involve video games, and a pet not requiring any maintenance!

My daughter really wants one of these. I think this is a good learning step before getting a real pet.

I think our dog would appreciate our daughter playing with these Zhu Zhu pets rather than harassing her all the time =).
These would be the perfect pets for my grandchildren as these is no care of them
Thanks so much for the chance to win!

I like that I can’t be allergic to the shavings I normally am allergic too in a real hamsters cage. And they don’t poop!!
And zhu zhu pets opened it to canadians!! omg yay!!
I am a zookeeper, and I like the idea of my daughter having a pet that once I am done cleaning up poop at work and I don’t have to come home to it also.
I need to get one of these. I like pets that do not smell
