Zhu Zhu Hamster Time!

Posted on | October 11, 2009 | Comments Off

Looking for a cool and super cute gift? Here’s the latest craze, and honestly, it’s beyond cute -

As seen on TV… these cuddly little plush toys are all the rage with their cute purrs and lovable antics. Let’s face it, hamsters are called Teddy Bear Hamsters for a reason – they’re just so cute, and these, unlike the real live ones are quite huggable (and never bite!).  You have various types of Zhu Zhu hamsters, each with its own name and coloring. They’re smart too – with unique “behavior” patterns for each type.

When they’re released into their habitats, they interact with their surroundings and display their various behaviors and each comes in two modes: loving and exploring. Although they have a clear mechanical quality (well, they ARE mechanical) this really is as close as you can get to a live pet – without the added responsibilities.

Here’s this super cute video I found, showing just how adorable the Zhu Zhu hamsters can be:

There is a country-wide shortage of Zhu Zhu hamsters which made prices shoot up. You could wait for them to drop again, or, if you can afford to, make your kid happy now with the various hamsters and accessories. I just checked on Walmart’s online store, and yup, all out of stock…
