Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters

By Mark Kennedy

If you weren't already familiar with them, the chances are that you'll be hearing quite a bit more in the next few weeks as they are the latest toy craze to sweep the country. Pronounced as "Zoo Zoo Pets" they are fun and energetic battery powered hamsters that scoot around on wheels and fly around their hamster habitats that you can customize as your collection continues to grow in size.

As the shopping season draws nearer, many parents are finding that they are hearing an awful lot about the new electronic toy that is already next to impossible to find, called Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters. Seen by millions of children on the internet and television through it's fun commercials, it quickly became one of the most talked about toys in the last few years. With kids trying to build up a collection of these interactive pets, they are flying off the shelves of toy stores more quickly than can be restocked.

With cute names like Patches, Mr.Squiggles, Chunk, Numnums and Pipsqueek, the hamsters are the world's first interactive plush hamster toys. Each hamster even comes with it's very own personality: Chunk is mellow and likes to take it easy. Always in search of a snack, Numnums seems to be constantly foraging for food. Pipsqueek just likes to play and stay active as much as possible (great for tiring out your energetic kids) and Mr. Squiggles is always seeming to get into trouble, exploring the living rooms and kitchen floors of families across America. Watching them interact is really half of the fun as Zhu Zhu Pets are made to interact with their hamster friends and the accessories (which are purchased separately) and their hamster playset. The Zhu Zhu Pets are able to drive around in a Zhu Zhu car, and "speak" using electronic hamster chattering sounds.

The Zhu-Zhu pets feature the ability to operate in a couple of different manners, with an available Explore Mode and Loving Mode. The Explore Mode lets the hamsters remain active by constantly moving around, running in circles and bouncing off of one another. The Loving Mode allows your child to enjoy some quiet time with their pet as the hamsters will cuddle and chirp along as it is gently handled.

If you have a child that you think is going to be asking for one of these adorable pets for the holidays and you would hate to see them disappointed, start shopping early as they are going to be nearly impossible to find in the coming months!
