Zhu-Zhu Pet Hamsters

If you are preparing for the upcoming shopping season and searching for the perfect present for a child, you can't miss by giving them a Zhu Zhu Pets electronic toy hamster. These interactive toy pets have been showing up on television commercials and the internet and creating a huge amount of interest from kids across the country. Even this early in the season, it's almost impossible to find them in stock anywhere.

Zhu Zhu Pets are a blast to play with for any child that is 3 years old, or older. They are loveable, plush and interactive toy hamsters that are as close to the real thing as possible.

Zhu Zhu Pets will interact with your child in two different modes, The Loving Mode and the Explore Mode. In the Explore Mode, the animals will zip around your floor or in one of their playsets or accessories, bumping and spinning about. They really are fun to watch as they chatter and dart around, exploring their environment. When set in the Loving Mode, they will purr and cuddle with your child as they gently interact with one another. When exploring, they will their surroundings, they have a great number of responses, and are almost life-like in the curious nature that they seem to exhibit. If your child is getting worn out from all of the excitement and needs a break, he or she can just leave them alone, and they will power down and go to sleep.

With these interactive toy animals, there is no longer any need to be worried about the limitations and messes that come along with owning a live pet. There's no need to clean cages or worry that your child might be bitten be a sticking their fingers in the cage while it is trying to sleep (after all, hamster are nocturnal by nature!).

Zhu Zhu Pets are available in a number of different personalities with differing traits. Chunk is the cute and loveable surfer-dude hamster with white fur and a laid-back attitude that likes just hanging around and enjoying some relaxation. But when the surf is up, he comes to life and will keep your child on the move as he explores his new surroundings. Pipsqueak is a yellow hamster and who is small in size size with a great personality. Always in search of her next adventure, she seems to constantly be searching for something to get into. Num Nums is a furry gray toy hamster that just can't seem to get enough to eat. He spends his time searching for snacks, while getting into plenty of trouble along the way. Finally, Mr. Squiggles is a cuddly brown hamster who just enjoys spending his time exploring his surroundings and always seems to have someplace else that he would rather be.

Even though Zhu-Zhu Pets can play and have fun on their own, they really seem to come to life when they have a playmate or some of their fun accessories to enjoy and interact with. Some of the fun accessories and playsets that are available include:

•Pet Carrier
•Garage and Car
•Spiral Slide and Ramp
•Go Go Adventure Ball
•Skateboard and U-Turn Ramp
•Pet Bed and Blanket
•Hamster Wheel and Tunnel
