Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Mr. Squiggles
Review:
I had never heard of this toy till recently and lucked out by stumbling upon them on eBay. It's really a cute toy, but the sounds the hamster makes are a little strange: rooster crowing, cow mooing, etc. Strange noises for a hamster to say the least.
My daughter really loves it, and it is adorable as it runs around on the floor. As the toy's warning states on the bottom, do not get this near your hair because it will wind it up on the back wheels. Also, it picks up fuzz and animal hair on the floor so you will periodically need to get some tweezers out to get all the crud out so it can resume normal speeds. Haven't gotten any of the accessories for this rodent because they are so hard to find.
That said, the stores should put a limit on how many you can buy, so more families will be able to buy for their children these toys. When I got this one, I bought two - one for my daughter's bday and one to hold for her Christmas present. However, the store had a limit of 4. I think that's excessive in light of them being in such hot demand and short supply.
Conclusion:
The Zhu Zhu pets are the hottest toy this holiday season. I strongly recommend you shop now for them to avoid paying a king's ransom later.
