Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought 3 zhu zhus and the skateboard/uturn add on. The actual hamsters are really pretty great (see my review under Pipsqueak), but this add on was such a waste.
It's pretty tough to get the hamster locked in place on the skateboard (i.e. he doesn't get on it on his own like the car add on). Pressing on the hamster's back while pushing up on the skateboard seems the best way to get it locked on there, but pushing on its back also activates the wheels- making keeping it in place quite a challenge. My 3 yr old cannot get the hamster locked on the skateboard. She initially resorted to getting in on halfway and pushing it around like a manual operation toy/car. Now she's just given up all together. She still carries the accessory around and shows it to the hamster, but doesn't even bother trying.
The u-turn is also a waste. It's so light that the hamster can't get into it on its own. Every time we've gotten a hamster near it- it just pushes the darn uturn across the floor- somtimes making the honking horn sound. It's even worse if you've gotten the hamster skateboard and try getting it through the u-turn.
It is kind of neat to see the hamster tearing across the room on the board once you've gotten him in there, but not enough to make it worth the $.
