What in the heck is a zhu zhu pet and why are they more expensive than a real pet?
Oct 10, 2009 by Krystal K | Posted in Toys
I can't imagine wanting to spend hundreds of bucks on these things when you can buy a hampster with a cage and wheel and tunnels for a lot cheaper. sure you have to clean up after them but doesn't it teach kids responsibility better than a fake pet?
Hi
If you want to avoid the problems that having live pets can create then they can be ideal.
Well, it is a cute, cuddley, soft, furry, little battery operated hamster that gives kids all the hamster pet fun without all the hamster pet mess.
There are various Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters to choose from. These include who Chunk is a white colored laid back hamster surfer dude who loves to hang out and hang ten. Pipsqueek is a beautiful yellow powerhouse who's not afraid of anything!
Squiggles is a lovely brown hamster who's been there and done that and seen it all. Finally,NumsNums is a friendly little grey hamster that loves to cuddle and snack.
Some more details about them at the link in my source box
Hope it helps
Take care
Paul

The Mysterious Appeal of Zhu Zhu Pets | Parenting Update
by Molly Langmuir
The particular Zhu Zhu Pet this little girl received was Mr. Squiggles , the brown one with the little spiral on his back, and she also received some accessories to go with him, including a Hamster Wheel and Tunnel (this is what the Zhu Zhu website calls it, at least). Somehow (and this part was sort of cool), the Zhu Zhu Pet was actually able to crawl up the tunnel by itself, jump into the wheel and start running. It did fall over onto its back a few times, but then managed to right itself (with a little help).
Zhu Zhu Pets were one of the most popular Christmas toys of the season (if you don’t believe me check here ), and certainly, for this little girl, at least, Mr. Squiggles was one of the things she most wanted. But why? Personally, I find it baffling. Part of it, presumably, is simply that demand has outstripped supply, leaving parents doing things like lining up outside Wal-Mart to get their hands on one , which builds excitement. And part of it, surely, is a masterful marketing campaign—they have been advertised as “So fun without the mess!” which has obvious appeal to parents.
This idea—that these are “pets” that don’t shed, or eat, or stink, or even die, at least not permanently—starts to explain their popularity to me. A child asks for an actual hamster and her parents ( they’re more popular with girls ) give her instead an easier-to-deal-with battery-operated one (or a virtual one, by getting her a Webkinz, another popular present this season ). And maybe I’m just behind the times, or maybe I just don’t understand how annoying it is to get your child a pet and end up having to care for it all by yourself, but isn’t something lost in this process?
