I got my Zhu Zhu Pets This Christmas!
Even before the turkey is carved and before Black Friday hits, it has come to everyone’s consensus that Zhu Zhu Pets are the hottest toys for the kids this holiday season. I was lucky enough to have the foresight to purchase a couple of Zhu Zhu pets for my children before the stores ran out of stock. Zhu Zhu pets are toy hamsters that make cute sounds and comes in five different characters, each with cute names. They are powered by batteries and move around in their Zhu Zhu hamster homes which are accessories that can be purchased separately. They can be combine to form a large playset with pipes that they can run through. There is even a hamster wheel that the Zhu Zhu pets can actually run on! The Zhu Zhu pets move around their environment like a roomba and will turn around if it hits a wall. They were relatively cheap to start out with costing ten dollars or lower but the demand for them has raise the price considerably to over fifty dollars on Ebay. I don’t know when or where the next shipment of Zhu Zhu pets will arrive in stores but it will be harder to get them as Christmas draws closer each day.

My kids love these zhu zhu hamsters. The favorite is Pipsquek the yellow hamster and the kids adore Numnums too.
Ya know, the more I surf around, the more and more I am seeing about these Zhu Zhu pets. I had no idea about them before. Good thinking on purchasing them early. They might be like those Tickle Me Elmos were parents start beating each other up just to get ahold of one.
Have never seen these Zhu Zhu pets before but I sure love them. They could become a “hot” item pretty soon.
