We bought one for each of our girls who absolutely loved them...until they stopped working. I didn't see any warning against using them on the carpet and that is the only reason I can guess as to why the motor on both of them burned up after only 2 days for one and 4 days for the other. We have replaced them both (2 days ago) with a new rule to keep them off of the carpet in hopes that the carpet was indeed the problem. Even if the carpet was the problem it does not bode well for the durability of this toy. -- motor burns out on carpet
When (not if) your hamster stops running !!change the batteries!!. This is almost always the fix. If it still makes noise but doesn't drive, change the batteries. The ones that come in it often don't work more than a very short while.
Seriously, stop returning them all. The batteries that come with them run down as they get jostled in boxes and poked at the store. They aren't meant to last anyways.
It really is that simple. -- FIx this Hamster
Not only is Mr Squiggles, the Zhu Zhu in question, not JUST for kids, it's definitely for adults with nothing to lose. I bought this guy at a reasonable price before the Big Hype hit, & I gave him to my 65-year old husband for Christmas. Squig has been a non-stop hit ever since, not so much for his ability to crash into things, to get stuck in unlikely places in the house (& to sometimes pull out blobs of dust from under never-before-cleaned nooks & crannies), & to occasionally extricate himself efficiently, but for his alarm clock propensities. I am my husband's alarm clock, & Mr Squiggles's assortment of noises, accessible through the simple nose-beep, work better than any device I have ever tried. And they get said husband out of bed with a chuckle, an event not to be taken lightly. The naysayers see far too many things through their children's eyes ~ grow Down, & have your own opinion. And DO NOT pay the big bucks... for any flash in the pan. We don't even pay for TV. -- Not Just For Kids....
