Character’s hamsters are go!

Hamsters are a great way for children to learn about caring for a pet, but everyone knows that sooner or later the grown-ups will have to take over the cleaning and feeding duties. Character’s Go Go Hamsters offer a solution – they are cute and cuddly hamsters that don’t need to be cleaned out and only need to be a fed a pair of AAA batteries every now and then.

Artificially intelligent, and able to talk and move around, there are four characters to collect. Chunk is billed as a surfer dude, with a laid back attitude, a big heart and an even bigger belly. Pipsqueak, meanwhile, is the brains of the team, being smart as well as sweet.

Num Nums is shy but has a trick up her sleeve to win you over – she’ll shower you with hamster kisses. Finally, Mr Squiggles is an escapologist who likes nothing better than hiding and rolling around in his exercise ball.

Each of the Go Go Hamsters is priced around £9.99 and you can also add the Funhouse Deluxe Gift Set for around £19.99. Connect all the hamster habitats to this starter pack and your hamsters will never have a dull moment. Suitable for ages three and up, the completed set measures over 70cm long.
