Should You Waste Your Money On Zhu Zhu Hamster Toys?

By Laura Robbinson

Toys come and go and hot toy lists come and go, but it really doesn't matter when your child has added a Zhu Zhu Pets hamster (often pronounced as Zoo Zoo Pets hamsters and Zu Zu Pets hamsters) toy to her Father Christmas list. The fantastic marketing and bombardment of hamster commercials has ensured that you will not be alone. But at the end of the day, with so many great toys out there to fill your kid's stocking up with, is a hamster toy worth buying instead of the many alternatives?

With Zhu Zhu hamsters having recently secured a position on the Toys r Us hot Christmas list, you can be sure that come Christmas day, most kids will be the proud owner of one...at least. So Christmas day comes and your daughter's friends are all showing off their cute toy hamsters and she asks you why she is the only one without one, especially as they only cost $7 retail, you will obviously have a very practical and responsible reply that will immediately convince her that she simply doesn't need one!

The fun. Without a doubt, kids of all ages love these little furry hamsters. Parents find them pretty cool too (well I do anyway!). The great thing about them, besides the four different hamster choices each having different personalities and acting differently, different aspects of these interactive toy pets appeals differently to each child. Girls love the affectionate mode and pampering and taking care of it, almost in a real hamster pet fashion. Boys on the other hand love to see them go fast and do all the cool tricks and moves that they do in explore mode. So whether you're buying a hamster toy this Christmas for a girl or boy, they will equally be thoroughly entertained and have literally hour after hour of fun...and that's from personal experience! Ah, a sudden surge of relaxation time for mom!

There is a great range of accessories available for Zhu Zhu hamster toys, from houses to cars to surfboards. All of the add-ons integrate together, so your kid's can slowly build up a gigantic fully functional hamster habitat. This will not only extend the amount of creativity that your child shows, but also provide an exponential surge in fun and excitement and add on hours of additional time that they spend using it all, without the alternative need to now substitute the hamster for the other latest toy.

A real hamster with the inevitable mess, cleaning, responsibility and problems, or a great substitute hamster toy that you can turn off at the push of a button. Are kids really willing to accept this hamster compromise? Yes is the answer that delighted parents all over the country are finding out. Those parents that had been running out of excuses why their child couldn't have a real hamster have found their savior in the form of a $7 substitute.

Toys that provide our children with some form of exercise are becoming more and more of a challenge to find and I certainly didn't associate a Zhu Zhu hamster toy as anything but a cute and fun little pet. Wrong. Put these hamsters in explore mode and your kids will also go into explore mode as well and if that happens in an open yard, there's plenty of chasing and screaming fun to be had. Then there are the group hamster race games that friends are now participating in as they chase their champion hamster to the race finish line. Who would have thought? - 31409
