Description
This electronic toy manufactured by Tiger Electronics came out in 1997. I had one that my friend gave to me but not for long though. Well anyway, it was basically like having a pet but taking care of it on a portable keychain-sized computer. You could name it, feed it, play with it etc. like a real pet.

I had one that was a dog, and a Barbie one that was a kitty. My elementary banned them, and my mom had to bring the dog to work with her. It died while she was at lunch, though! (T.T)

I loved my giga pet! I had a dog, I think. It was red. I remember one year when giga pets were actually banned from school cause they made noise.

I hate them! When I was in bed it went like DADING! It makes that noise when it wants attention. He pooped and there was a pile of cr@p on the floor. It was smoking! I don't know about you but I got up and saw what he wanted! Whenever he does something he gets sad and on the right there was a little frown I saw what he wanted (he pooped)and I cleaned his butt and I whispered I CLEANED YOUR BUTT NOW SHUT UP!!! I haven't played with him in a while he probably died

I had the Salem the Cat one and the Frog one. I still have Salem, and I'm looking for batteries to put in so I can play with it again :3

I had a few of them, me and my friends' pets kept dying because we were kind of too lazy to take care of them. lol.

I had one from McDonalds when they were giving away real ones. It was the see-thru blue case with the dog. I had a teacher take it from me at school once. I prefered them over the Tomagotchies as they were real animals. I wish I could find it or another one even though I still don't have time for it lol.

trying to look for a giga pet... i really cant member the name, but at scholl we all had baby ones... and ive seen alot of animal ones but not baby ones...
Victoria 88 - March 23, 2011 - Report this comment
I have literally around 20 or so different giga pet/tamagotchis. super big in my school in 4th/5th grade. All of their batteries are dead but I have them on one giant keychain haha...as far as giga pets go, i had a baby, a koala, a penguin, a dinosaur, and a panda. yeah i think i was more into "getting them" than i was into actually "playing them" all the time. I'd just start a new one once the other one died lol

I have a green kitten one I got as a promo item from KFC in '96. I'm a collector, and it's one of the best in the collection.

In 4th grade, a girl brought one to school and it kept talking in her locker all day! They were fun for about a week, then they became boring. Give me SNES any day...

I have about 5 that have never been opened. Toys r Us closed in our neighborhood in 2002 and everything was on sale I got a lot of items. The percentage off everything increased weekly until they closed. They were probably a dollar on the last day the store was open.

I had one, but it fell to my neglect too many times, but I still got sad when it died. now adays, my daughter has an app on my phone of a little blob Pou and its the newaged version of a giga pet. I wish I could find a giga, that would make me feel like a kid again!

Are you interested in buying coin operated horses or spring rocking horses??? They are sold on Ebay. Most spring horses are made by Blazon, Wonder, Flexible Flyer, and Radio Flyer. Feel free to buy as many as you like. Good luck!!! :) Ebay account required.

It was a toy that was a clear round plastic ball with coloured nodules on outside in different colours . It had lights inside that flashed and it was battery operated and it would jump around the floor it was roughly the size of a tennis ball
