Giveaway: Zhu Zhu Pets hampsters & play set

If you're like Mr. Blonde and I, you asked your parents for some at some point in life. Or multiple points in life.

"Can I have a hamster?!"

I'm sure my Dad would have like to have responded with "Why, yes. Yes you can have a rodent you'll think is fun for two weeks, urinates all over it's cedar chips every other day and runs in a squeeky wheel every night from 3 to 4am that your mother will end up caring for instead of you. Great idea, beautiful smart daughter! In fact, let's get a dozen of them so by this time next year, we have 186 of them!"

You know that part about us at Blondes, Poop & Mascara enjoying things that simplify and enhance family life? This is precisely the point.

If fake hamsters make kids happy then you won't ever have to get your children real ones!

It is true! ZhuZhuPets and Playset come with very fun and loveable little hampsters of all different colors. They chitter and chatter and scurry all over your floor.

We had a blast for hours with our new playset and furry friends. And, the little rascals never bit anyone! We had a Zhu Zhu Pets Hampster Party with some little friends. Thanks to Mom Select and ZhuZhuPets we had a hampster for everyone. We were sent 10 Zhu Zhu Pets along with an exercise room/wheel, surfboard/dome, skateboard/uturn, car/garage and a slide/ramp. It was fun for LA (3+ years of age) to let he and his brother's (15mos of age) hampster run through the playset. But, oh my was it fun to see 10 little hampsters all running through the playset together. They would bump into each other and just keep going. I have to be honest...I didn't think it would work. A bunch of robot hamsters running around in this thing? Come on! But, they did. It really fun. And all of the kids are still playing with the hampsters. One of the little girls is still insisting her mom let her sleep with it each night!

The only thing that could have been easier was assembly of the playset. The parts didn't fit together perfectly. However, with a little time and patience it did ultimately work just fine. And, it's fun for a wide age range. My 15-month-old Boatboy loved his hamster and a 10-year-old friend of ours wants the entire set for herself.

And, because they're fake there's no pellet poop to clean up either!
