Update 7-2-09: Thank you to everyone who entered this giveaway. This giveaway is now closed and a winner has been selected. Congratulations Stephanie Jo Gomez!! Please check your email for instructions on how to receive your Go Go Pet Hamsters!
A winner has been selected. My kids (age 8, 6 and 3) have been asking me to buy them pet hamsters for months. We already have a dog, so the answer is always a clear and definitive, “No.” Imagine their surprise when I told them we were being shipped pet hamsters, complete with their own habit and play areas. They squealed with delight! When the Fed-Ex driver dropped off a large box with the label, “Pets Without Poop,” my eight-year-old roared with laughter and awkwardly carried the box inside.
Inside the box was a Go Go Pets Party Pack, stocked with 11 Go Go Pets Hamsters, a complete Go Go Pets Hamster “habitrail,” themed games and activities and easy-to-make recipes. After assembling the habitrail and unwrapping three hamsters, one for each kiddo, the kids went off to play while I searched for a date to hold a Go Go Pets Party!
By the way, the Go Go Pets hamsters work exactly like the video demonstrates. The usual skeptic, I saw the video before receiving the pets and thought like every other toy, these wouldn’t be nearly as fun as the commercial shows. I was wrong! My kids love their Go Go Pets hamsters and I’m pleased with the quality of the product.
For the party we gathered a group of the kids neighborhood and school friends, age 3 to 9. Each child received one of four hamster friends. Some of the children had already heard the Phoenix buzz about the Go Go Pets because they attended the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game on May 31st when Go Go Pets hamsters were a big hit for the children in attendance.
The best part about the Go Go Pets hamsters is that my children have stopped asking me to buy them real hamsters. In fact, they’ll say to me, “Mom, we don’t need real hamsters anymore. These Go Go Pets are more fun and we don’t have a mess to clean up.” Well said, my little darlings…well said.
I have two extra Go Go Pets hamsters left from the party pack I received (two children didn’t show up to the party!). So instead of chasing them down, I decided to give the pair of them away to a luck blog reader!

One lucky blog reader will receive two Go Go Pets hamsters – Chunk, a laid-back surf hamster famous for chillin’ out, hangin’ back and layin’ low, and Mr. Squiggles, a fussy little guy whose been there, done that, and lived to tell about it!

Great info! Thanks for sharing news about the poopless pet– every busy mom’s dream… especially when there is a soon-to-be four-yeard-old at home wanting a hamster every time we entered the pet store. With one fat cat at home, I am reluctant to bring a live hamster to the house for fear it won’t be alive soon after its arrival. I think both Emma and Tux, her amazing cat , will both have loads of fun with a Go Go!
My daughter wants one so bad and all the stores are sold out here! They are so cute she says…. She wanted a real one and then saw these advertised and she was sold LOL
She will be thrilled if we win!
The Wonderful thing about “Go Go Pet Hamsters” is they can’t reproduce. As a child I remember having 36 gerbils at one time. I’d raised hamsters with my children and it was always the same…too many too soon, and the babies even had babies and most were deformed. So that would be the best thing about them…they can’t have babies.
The wonderful thing about Go Go Pet Hamsters is that they can come on vacation with you this summer! No asking friends to watch them, clean the cage or worry about them being eaten or maimed by other family pets.
On the cusp of the big Hamster movie G-Force coming out my dd wants a hamster so badly – too novice to understand that “real” hamsters won’t do these tricks she see’s in the movies (Bugsy on Bedtimes Stories – my best example) – she would be thrilled that the gogo hamster would entertain her as she feels a hamster should. Ha!
We would LOVE to win a hamster. And love this blog!! Thanks!
I signed up for the RSS feed. The Go Go pet would make a wonderful addition to our family!
Okay…hummmm well I would think this would be great for my household because it doesn’t require much, I wouldn’t have to chase it all over the house, clean after it and really I am curious I am a total animal lover and I would love to see how mush different it is. I’m sure my family members will get a kick out of it.
I would be delighted to win this HAMSTER which by the way I already named SAM LOL!
Thanks!
