3 out of 5 stars Great accessory - when its not in pieces   November 25, 2009
Elizabeth Hall (St. Louis, MO)
Here's "what's in the box":

- 2 halfs of the ball
- a twist on cover or door for getting the hamster in and out
- a stabalizer for the bottom of the zhu zhu hamster
- a 'play' ball for the hamster

First the two halfs of the ball come apart if its picked up; dropped; touched. The two halfs of the sphere latch together with by lining up little plastic nubs into holes (a difficult task and irritating when you have to do it over and over). I tried taping the two halves together but that did not last more than a few hours

The door cover goes on and off easily and my 4 year old can manage the half twist it takes to lock/unlock it.

The stabilizer stays on about 70% of the time. It sticks onto the plastic nub on the bottom of the hamster. It also doesnt guarantee the hamster won't flip over in the ball.

The small blue play ball... well, I'm not sure that its intended to go in the large ball with the hamster. It only seems to trip him up more and cause him to flip (which requires you opening and repositioning him and running the risk of making the two halves of the ball come apart!!) We use the play ball in the funhouse and let Mr Squiggles push it through the tunnels. Its a lot more entertaining that way.

To sum up 5 minutes of work will get you 5 minutes of entertainment with this accessory. The kids got a kick out of it running around the house knocking in to walls and furniture. When it wasn't falling apart or flipping over it was great fun to watch. We've since lost the stabilizer and the ball has been on a shelf for two weeks. can't find the play ball either.



4 out of 5 stars Having fun with hamsters, but without the mess   November 24, 2009
J. Henderson (London)
I've bought this as a Christmas present for someone who keeps saying he wants a hamster, but in reality will never look after one. And I have to say this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a really long time.
The ball is a little fiddly to put together, but once that hammie gets going it's as believable as the real thing. If it bangs into a wall or object, the pet makes a noise, turns himself around and sets off again.
Hours of fun without the smell, mess and food of a real hamster.
I can see why this has become the 'must-have' Christmas toy.

While the Zhu Zhu Pet craze has taken off, and the hamsters are cute and fun, the accessories leave a lot to be desired. The ball does not stay together for longer than 5 minutes, and I am constantly trying to put it back together. Made of lightweight, non-durable plastic, it is not stable and does not stay together. I am seriously thinking of purchasing a "real" hamster ball from a pet store. The only problem is you need the stabilizer piece that keeps the hamster from rolling over and over in the ball.

The actual Zhu Zhu hamsters are adorable, but most of the accessories are cr*p. They fall apart very easily and are not worth the money. . . You spend most of your time clicking the pieces back together again. This ball seems to hold up (and stay together) the best out of all of them, but if you can talk your kids out of wanting them you will be doing yourself a favor!

It is what it is...it is a cute little ball for the zhu zhu pet to roll around in...my daughter has fun chasing it around the house and it amuses our dogs too.
