Zhu Zhu Pets
>> August 27, 2009
Don't you just love hamsters! They are too adorable. A few years ago my little niece got a hamster for Christmas and I had the best time buying cute little toys for it's cage and adorable little treats she could feed him. Now that my little girl is older.....she thinks that we can have an endless array of pets and is constantly asking for something new. We have one little fluffy dog who is more than ENOUGH. We certainly don't need another.
The other problems with hamsters is that number one they don't live very long. Your kid is going to grieve their little pet like they just lost a best friend. Number two they can be stinky. You have to clean out their cages. I for one don't need yet another household chore.
Zhu Zhu Pet's have come up with the perfect solution. Create life like hamsters that your children can play with.....complete with what we call "hamster heaven" -- their playground :)
These adorable little hamsters make their way through their little playhouse, down slides and even drive a car. I was amazed when they were able to get inside their wheel...spin around...then get back out.
The only problem that we encountered with Zhu Zhu pets is that the pieces can come apart easily when bumbed or leaned on. My 2 year old was the main culprit of this. On the up side, they come complete with batteries. Now how many toys can claim that? Overall my kids love them! My little girl even woke up one morning and put her hamster in her ball and said she was going to give it it's morning exercises. Too Cute!

Thanks again.
i love how these pets are mess free
I like that they have the hamster ball. It just wouldn't seem lifelike without one.
My sons love the hamster car and garage as well as the Go Go Adventure Ball.

I liked the Zhu Zhu Pets as soon as I saw them. There are so many kids who can't have pets for whatever reason, and this is a really cute set with fairly life sized hamsters.
My brothers would love the car and garage. They need this, they adore my real hamster Hammie but she's a bit scared by hyper 9 year old twins sometimes.
I like that you don't have to feed them or clean their cage.

I learned that Zhu Zhu Pets™ are not designed to be sleep toys. It is not recommended for this use. Remove the batteries if you child wishes to take it to bed. :)

I think it's awesome that they make little hamster noises. How fun!! Thanks for the contest!
Oh I can see this being a great item for my dd. seems like a great way to have a pet without having a pet.mavans@scottsboro.org

I love how cute all of the hamster are, and they have great names. We would choose Squiggles based on his personality, but all of them are just adorable. Thank you for the chance.
I learned that each of the 4 hamsters have their own unique personality. My son has been asking for one since he saw an ad on tv. They're very cute!

How cute. They even have 2 modes, loving mode and Explore Mode:
Let them scoot, scamper, bump & boogie across the floor or through their Hamster Habitat.

The hamster ball and tubes are very cool!! Thanks for the chance.
mogrill@comcast.net
I love the fact that you never have to change their bedding
I love that they run around the house and are interactive. My kids would love these!!!
Awesome! Along with the stink how do you explain to your young one why the mommy eats some of their babies? Ummm... so, NO to the live alternative, making this a pretty awesome giveaway! :)
I love these! I want the garage and car. So cute. The website is great too.
I'm following now too!
Thanks

From the website that you have listed I learned that every Toy's R Us store in a 100 mile radius is sold out of Zhu Zhu pets. That Amazon does have them in stock but they are as much as $300.00.YIKES! (can anyone say price gouging?) and Walmart does not have them listed on their website at all!So to sum it up, it will take a small miracle to get your hands on one of these cute,interactive creatures for your child this Christmas and Hanukkah season. The one thing that I really love about this item is that if you are lucky enough to find these they are great for siblings to play with and share. And you can buy seperate parts to add to the collection ( that means bribery for good grades,behavior,ect. lol )
Thanks for the contest!

I love that you don't have to feed them! It's a great way for kids to have a hamster without all the mess. The hamster ball is so cute and the car is adorable.
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
The Go Go Adventure Ball looks fun!
I learned that "the hamsters are designed to act randomly and unpredictably. Yours may not act the same each time."

I love the car that they have! It's very Stuart Little!
I like that you can just keep adding different sets together to make one big play area! I'm sure you can keep rearranging for continued entertainment. Fun! But I really love the Go Go Adventure ball. Funny!

I learned Zhu Zhu Pets are not recommended for children younger than 4 years of age. Parents need to use their own judgment and determine if your child is ready for the toy they are given regardless of their age.
I learned that they did a trial run of these in Phoenix and they were a hit! jadco123 at hotmail dot com

Love the website! I love that they make different noises as they travel throughout their little tubes and houses! They are interactive and fun with no cages to clean! I mean, come on, over 40 different sounds effects?? How cool is that?? My daughter's 6th birthday is coming up and this is number 1 on her list! It is good to know about the motorized wheel and the possibility of hair getting caught in it and what to do if that were to happen!

I think it is great that they have a unique product. It is an animal that is not a cat or dog. The kids would love that they can use it the way a real hamster would (without the smell). Thank you

My kids are dying for one of those rodents. You may have saved my sanity for posting this. I have told at least 3 people about how fabulous this solution could be for my fear of these things.
These guys are scrambling off the shelves faster than the real thing!
