After making a huge splash in the United States, Zhu Zhu Pets have moved into Canada in a big way! In only three days, more than 7,000 Zhu Zhu hamsters were sold in Toronto, at Toys R Us and online.

What makes these robotic hamster toys so popular? There are a number of reasons this is the must-have toy of the season. Of course, one big reason everyone wants them is because they are becoming so hard to get. Not being able to get something always seems to make it much more desirable, and the Zhu Zhu Pets hamster craze is no exception.

Over the past few years, interactive toys have become all the rage. There have been other interactive pets on the market, each one more popular than the last. These toys are popular because they mimic the behaviour of real pets, and kids just love playing with them.

Another reason for their demand is because of their relatively low price. Compared to other interactive toys, which sell for upwards of $50 and more, Zhu Zhu hamsters retail at $10 in stores (if you can find them) and around $25 online, making them an inexpensive gift. You’ll be pressed to get a real hamster for that price! Plus, with a real hamster, you also have to regularly buy food, cedar chips, a cage, and other accessories. None of this is necessary with interactive toys like the Zhu Zhu Pets. You get the “hamster experience”, without the actual hamster!

So, whether you live in the US or Canada, if you want to buy a Zhu Zhu Pets hamster for your child this Christmas, you’d better start looking now. Better yet, why not order online? It’s convenient, quick, and you will probably have much better luck finding one.

Let’s face it. Things just aren’t the same as when we were kids, especially toys. Today’s children enjoy toys that are interactive, and even educational. But, like children from every generation, they also love having pets.

Sometimes having a pet is just not possible. When this happens, you feel bad, but what can you do? What about getting your child one of today’s interactive pets, like a Zhu Zhu Pets hamster? These fun little toys, great for children ages three and up, have artificial intelligence and your child will feel like they have their very own pet.

The technology that has gone into these cute little toys is incredible. They can actually sense things about their environment. If your child brings their Zhu Zhu Pet hamster to the bathroom, it will make noises like it is brushing its teeth. When it is “sleeping”, the Zhu Zhu Pet even snores!

There are four different Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters, each with its own unique personality:

	Mr. Squiggles, who is brown and white, is considered to be quite a magician, so watch out for disappearing acts!
	Pipsqueak is yellow, and skitters and makes sounds just like the real thing. Like many pets, Pipsqueak is loads of fun, and really smart!
	Num Nums is a shy one, but once he gets to know you, he loves to cuddle, coo and purr!
	Chunk enjoys surfing, and loves to make his owner happy by playing, running and making noises just like a real hamster!

So if you want a fun, interactive toy for your child, bring home a Zhu Zhu hamster. Your child will love playing with it and collecting all of the Zhu Zhu Pets accessories.
