| I purchased this entire set for my 4 yr old daughter about a month ago and it is the greatest toy ever! Yes, the garage does fall apart and the doors fall off, but all I used was one piece of tape all the way around to secure the roof and since then there hasn't been a problem at all!! You can't even see the tape, and it is a very easy fix. I do recommend that you use the tape trick especially if you have little ones like I do. They just aren't as gentle as older kids and she tended to knock the roof off easliy. I do not find that the hamsters get stuck at all. Most people don't really understand how these little guys work. First and foremost you have to replace the batteries in all the hamsters when you get them home. The batteries are only for in-store use and it says so on the instructions and on the website as well. Once you change the batteries....wow watch these little guys go! Secondly you have to pay attention to the tunnel directions, again in the instructions and the website, otherwise they will not work correctly. Thirdly, they do NOT get stuck, they make their own little decisions...just let them go and see what they do! My daughter LOVES these and has played with them non stop since she got them over a month ago. For the price they are great! (Not on amazon though, look at toys r us or walmart, or especially ebay instead they have the whole set for a pretty good deal!) |
One of the best accessories for the zhu-zhus!

Just read through the other reviews and I'm very surprised with all the negative comments regarding this garage! I happen to think this is one of the best accessories for the fun house..!
Want to give a couple recommendations though for those who have problems with the garage staying together / not going anywhere. First, yes, the garage is extremely flimsy and will not stay together. It falls apart at the slightest move (or heck, when the zhu-zhu went through the doors it would fall apart!). How to fix? Simple, hot glue. It takes literally 30 seconds to hot glue the garage at all 4 snaps and it fixes your problem. The garage stays put.. the doors stay put and that is that - no more of it falling. Should you have to do this? Well, no, but its an extremely easy fix that is a solution to the problem.
Second issue.. how to get the car to go. When you put the car in the garage - do NOT push it all the way back! When you do this, you'll notice the car goes over a slight bump of some sort.. the zhu-zhu has problems getting on the car and wont go very far. Instead, put the car on the very edge of the garage, where the bumper is touching the doors when they are closed - all 3 of our zhu-zhus can "drive" this car just fine when it is like this (and, on carpet.. we have it upstairs on our carpet.. all 3 zhu-zhus have no problem going on our carpet!) - So there is a the solution for that issue.
When you do these things.. then it makes the garage one of the cutest accessories out there.. it is incredibly cute when the zhu-zhu goes down the ramp, into the garage and up the car and just "drives" it out! The zhu-zhu will stay on the car and just drive it around until you take it out of the car. We really do love this accessory.. quite entertaining (and the cats love it too!) |
who said hamsters can not drive?

this is so fun i got it for christmas. and 2 more zhu zhu pets.
Parental comment: Not an inexpensive toy. However it performs as promiced. The zhu zhu rides down a short tunnel. Gets into its blue hot rod. And sure enough away it goes. Kinda comical in a sence. No frills just straight out zoom zoom zoom. |
This is our favorite ZHU ZHU accessory!!
