🐭 HEXBUG Mouse Robotic Cat GREY: Making Playtime Purr-fectly Exciting! Review

Pros: Cats love it Cons: Poor design or construction. What people think of as a toy that drains the battery is actually just a poorly designed/engineered battery case. When shaken, the batteries can lose contact with the positive pole in the toy, which can lead to misunderstandings. Owners can fix this by simply placing a piece of paper between the batteries and the plate holding them in the toy. Update: Changed to 1 star as the toy still dies even after the batteries made contact with the…

So I bought this for my cat for Christmas. Batteries included which is a plus. Simple and easy to turn on, small black switch underneath. If it hits a wall it will turn and fly the other way BUT it will get stuck in things like floor mats when it hits it. And it gets stuck on the side when flipped/tipped over. At first my cat was not enthusiastic about him, she was even afraid of him. Now she loves it. Not her favorite toy, but she goes after it and beats it up, sometimes chasing it. She also…

Great for lazy kitty moves. It crawled under the heater for the first few minutes, luckily I was able to pull it out by its tail, so until I figure out how to look for a bug I'll have to make a laundry basket for the floor. My cat gets bored very easily with predictable movements, this messy thing is great for waking up little hunter in a fluffy ball. Update: so first day he was strong, second day he was hard to roll over and caught him. on its own tail and hums in circles. On the third day…

When I first received the toy I was very pleased at how addicted my cat and kitten were to it, but I soon felt that it had several serious flaws . 1) The little ones are nagging, although the instructions say the beetle corrects itself if flipped, this is actually not the case. It gets stuck in a corner or upside down and needs to be lifted and fixed 2) Also when caring for the cat the back of the toy comes off very easily which I found out quickly. I took it off my cats at a few chews quickly…

Okay, I have an old Hexbug mouse and a new one. I've moved and merged my parents' old house with my own, so I've got a bunch of stuff in boxes. Somewhere in those boxes is my old Hexbug mouse, which I really like and would give 4 stars for; It's a battery-guzzling machine, however. Still, have fun for the cat. The new Hexbug mouse disconnects during gameplay. Works for a minute and a half then turns off. This is probably done to conserve batteries, but at the same time arouses interest in the…

I think this is my favorite cat toy - and in the 6 weeks I've had a kitten (Maya 💕) I've bought an absurd amount of toys for her. So that says a lot. I'm very impressed with this thing's ability to move and turn to the right side when flipped over (as seen in the video). It really looks like a bug! But not that disgusting. I make it interesting by placing the toy on different things - the video was filmed on my bathroom floor; I also sometimes put it in the bathtub where there are fewer…
