HEXBUG Mega Cat Toy Pack - Autonomous & Remote Control Interactive Pet Toys for Indoor Play, Exercise & Entertainment

My order came a few days late which I don't mind at all, its not their fault. The odd thing was my box was pretty beat up and the toys had a lot of the batteries put in backwards. I don't know if I accidentally got a return or someone had a bad day at the factory but either way, the product came with everything inside.My quick reviews of the toys:The laser toy entertained my cats and seems to work fine. They chased it around until I got sick of hearing it. I expect it to work fine for awhile.The hex bug with the tail disappointed me. The tail is just tied on but because of the weight added to such a lightweight toy, it just spun in circles. I have a few normal hex bugs that my cats already chase and they prefer those.The non-controlled mouse toy is grand! My cats love it, they went buck wild for it and I got a kick out of watching them play with it. One downside is it seems to primarily just go in large circles, luckily I have an oddly shaped kitchen so it bounces around a lot and I don't notice it but be aware.The controlled mouse toy that doesn't launch treats is also wonderful. My cats instantly went after it and because of its size I can make it run like prey into hiding spots. It does tend to drift left while in use so it will take some finesse to use.The treat launching mouse is pretty solid. The reverse button does spin it in circles though but luckily the motor is strong enough on the left/right wheels enough that using the left/right buttons you can rotate it around. It launches treats at variable speed and height. It is louder than the other toys on the floor so it may take your cat a bit to warm up to it, luckily the treats seem to help that haha.Overall aside from some quirkiness it is a nice bundle and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be more interactive with your cats but you also don't want to use the same wand toys you have forever.the toys were a lot of fun to play with. i had a small issue with a 1 of 5 toys and they quickly sent me a replacement.These toys are awesome. Of any cat related products I've bought on amazon, these have been the biggest hit with all 3 of my cats. I've had them about 5 days and the cats and I have already enjoyed many hours of play. They all love them so much, they will pull them out of the box and mewo at me to turn them on. The laser tower is great, my only complaint is that it only runs by itself for a short while, then turns itself off to conserve battery and I have to go turn it back on. While it is on though, all of my cats surround it and take turns hunting the red dot. The hexbug nano bug is a favorite in our house already, they work well and the batteries seem to have many hours of life in them. With the batteries that came in it, I have already ran the toy at least 6 hours and the battery is still going strong. The best part about this package is when the batteries die, I have many more batteries to replace them with! The grey mouse is pretty neat as well, it runs around, stops, then runs around more. It is very enticing to the cats. The two remote control mice are also way more fun than I expected. My only complaint would be that while the white mouse and the treat launcher have separate remotes they both react/move with either remote, which is fine really. The remotes also only work if they are within sight range of the toys. The treat launcher has 5 slots for small treats and a little button on the remote that makes it launch the treat into the air. The $40 price tag on this seemed like a lot to me at first, but once receiving them I have no doubts that it was worth every penny. If you're debating the purchase, don't! Your cats will thank you for all the entertainment and I promise you won't be bored either.Another thing I have noticed, I have 2 cats that don't get along super well. One will often swat at the other, and since getting these and allowing them to play together without me "being" there, my semi-aggressive cat has been being affectionate with the one they normally bully. Something I have never seen. I can't give the credit to their play time with these toys, but it is the only thing that has changed.I got this here about 6 months ago for an incredible $30. My cats loved all the toys. BUT, I am disappointed that the remote control mice (both treat launcher and white mouse) now only go in tight circles. I tried clearing out cat hair and such. What I think happens is that, over time, the wheels don't track the same, one side dominates and the mice go in circles. I went to buy another set and $50 - wow.... too much for the mice that will probably break again. And the price for getting them separately has doubled over the past months, I think.The owl that shoots out a lazar light is super popular. Just when they are getting into it though, it shuts itself off - I think it is on a 15 minute timer. The cats prefer the lazar owl to me waving a lazar manually. (Those maddening jerks - so cute though.) The little bug is nice and sturdy and I have bought more. The bugs do throw themselves helplessly on their sides and get stuck on things so you are constantly getting up and righting them. The treat launcher mouse was especially hilarious - but really only to us - the cats are so used to spoiling that treat or no treat was not that important. Another factor you may like to know is that the batteries need to be replaced pretty often. Extra batteries come in the box but I needed even more. Other brands are much cheaper than the Hexbug brand. Like 10 cents each vs $1 each.Get this if you won't miss $50.My cat loves the toys, but the remote controlled ones are difficult to drive in a straight line. Also the battery life is amazingly poor. The are tiny cells and only last maybe half an hour each.
