On top of that, the babies each come with unique individual accessories and a birth certificate that can be filled out with their name and date/time of birth. This playset includes an interactive guinea pig, hutch, hair brush, celery, 3 adorable babies to melt mama's heart, paper nesting material and instructions.

Hatch your own baby dragon or cute, hoping chick, collect gorgeous songbirds for a whole choir of fun or try your hand at training a lil’ cutie pup. The Chameleon probably got the least play at my house, and it also annoyed me a bit how good the suction cups were.

It’s another interactive “pet” experience (although it’s a wild animal, not a traditional pet), but overall a similar interactive animal toy experience. Pick up a Little Live Pets toy for a lovable friend that will move, sound and act just like a real pet!

This magical experience is repeatable, so that you can go through the surprise and delight of caring for Mama and discovering her babies, again and again. The babies are hidden in a wheel at the top of the hutch that will eventually spin and drop a baby into the hutch below. The Mama Surprise Guinea Pig is the modern take on a classic toy theme of a Mama Pet and her Pet babies (I’m thinking of the 90s toys Kitty and Puppy Surprise).The more expensive toy – the Mama Surprise Guinea Pig – was definitely the most loved and played with at our house.

My kids really loved the Mama Surprise Guinea Pig (both girls and boys), and I think that it has a strong appeal for most children this age. The Mama Guinea Pig comes with an included Hutch that will release 3 Surprise Babies after you care for the Mom, wait for her glowing heart, and put her into the hutch and wait. Currently, all kinds of Little Live Pets are available – from a guinea pig that has babies to a turtle, a bird, a hamster, a fish and even a puppy. For this review, I purchased and tested out 3 Little Live Pets with my kids: the Mama Surprise guinea pig, the Lil’ bird, and the Bright Light Chameleon.As a general rule of thumb, usually the smaller pets include batteries, while the larger ones do not. Feed Mama celery and brush her beautiful hair to get a full range of expression, and watch in delight as her heart light begins to glow—that means a baby is on the way!

My final conclusion is that it really depends on the child and their interests as to how much they will like an individual toy. Turns out, I had only added batteries to the Guinea Pig not realizing the hutch also needed them as well. The bird reacts when you pet her, and the more you pet her the happier she will become, which she shows by singing and whistling at you. My youngest really loved sticking her to everything in our house…the floor, the wall, the tv, the tables. With an included interactive hutch, provide a safe and reliable home for both mama and an adorable new-born baby guinea pig baby.The bird can move her head from side to side and also open and close her beak as she interacts with you. Additionally, included in the box is a hair brush, a piece of plastic celery for feeding the pets, and paper nesting material to line to hutch with to create a nice cozy space for Mama Guinea Pig. I would say that given how much they have played with it and others have enjoye it, it was well worth the cost.
