Zhu Zhu pets

Posted on | September 21, 2009 | No Comments

These are ZhuZhu pets. They are toy hamsters that act like real ones! Each ZhuZhu pet has it’s own unique personality and whimsical sounds that kids love. They also have a complete habitat for the hamsters to play in (lots of items to choose from, each sold separately). The great people at ZhuZhu pets were nice enough to send me the entire ZhuZhu pet habitat line, along with a bunch of hamsters, for my kids and their friends to try out.

It was like Christmas in our house when we opened the packages, and my kids couldn’t wait to get their hands on everything. While there was a lot of packages to open and items to put together, the directions were clear and it was easy to do. The kids were able to help and it came together pretty quickly. The only trouble was finding a spot large enough to put it all and still have room for the kids to play with it.

The kids playing with the ZhuZhu pets ranged in age from 3 to 11 years, and they all enjoyed it. The older girls lost interest in the habitat rather quickly, but continued to play with just the hamsters. The younger kids age 3-8 played for quite a while and kept going back. Although they loved the habitat and accessories, the hamsters themselves were the biggest hit for them as well.

I’m guessing these hamsters will be one of the hot holiday gifts this year. My sister lives in NJ and everyone there is trying to get them, but the stores are already sold out. You can check them out here www.zhuzhupets.com . They are also available at Toys R us, Walmart and Amazon.com.
