Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Blog

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.
