Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Toy Jilly by Cepia Reviews
They are silly, yes. But they are so fun and not to mention adorable. We have had ours for about 3 months and we have had no problems with the durability. I wish people would stop giving the toys bad reviews because they are mad about the mark-up (which does suck) because these toys are fun! I have just as much fun with them as my three year old son,and 10 year old niece! We barely use the accessories though, they were sort of a waste of money. My kiddo just lets his run all around the floor, and sometimes the hamster ball. The other stuff just collects dust.
I purchased, “Jilly” for my daughter for Christmas. I was so excited to see they had a pink one! She received it on Christmas Eve and it worked great. It was so cute! She didn’t play with it much yesterday since we were out and about. However, today she pulled it out and it worked for about five minutes. Then she brought it to me…no sound and it would not move. I naturally replaced the batteries…nothing. I then took the whole thing apart. I was able to get the sound to work when the nose (which fell out incidentally)is pushed. However, the buttons on the top no longer work at all and the wheels no longer turn. I have read multiple reviews on Toys R Us.com that complain about this very same problem! This is such a shame. I know these things are cheap, but do they really have to stop working after only a full day of play? My daughter is so disappointed and so am I. I will be calling the company on Monday…keeping my fingers crossed that they will send me a replacement as these are impossible to find now.
I’m always on the look out for products that my daughter can play with. She is 8 years old with multiple disabilities. Most “normal” toys she just can’t use. Try to get her something that plays music, forget it..she’s deaf. Most toys require two hands to use – she had Cerebral Palsy and can’t use alot of toys geared for her age. Tired of just toys with flashing lights (difficult with kids with seizures) as something she can play with with her low vision.
I saw Jilly in a pharmacy, of all places (just last week and it was $8.99). Thought maybe the movement of the pet would catch her attention. I couldnt wait – opened it yesterday and she LOVED it! She loves scooting on the floor after it and likes picking it up and holding it. Even though she can’t hear it, we can so when we can’t see where it went (ex. under a couch or bed) at least we can hear it to find it for her. We’re not concerned about getting the house and play structure additions for these hamsters…. it does fine on the floor (just watch for hair as it will get tangled.) My daughter likes watching it move inside a large box lid as it moves forward and reverse. I really recommend for kids with special needs that need a little motivation to help move around and work on things like therapy and visual tracking.
