Zhu Zhu Hamsters - How To Stretch Their Interactive Capability

By Laura Robbinson

Parents sometimes find it difficult to assess whether a certain toy that hits them out of the blue from the pleading of their kids, is worth buying in the first place, or increasingly more importantly, just how long will it be before it is stored away and gathering old toy dust. With the words Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters (often pronounced as Zoo Zoo Pets hamsters and Zu Zu Pets hamsters) on every kids lips, particularly with the run up to Christmas, are these furry creatures just another fast fad or are they really a great long term toy, that they will be interested way beyond...Christmas day!

Like so many toys that emerge onto the market today, manufacturers have smartened up to the way to maximize earnings. Cepia that produce the line of Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters is no exception. Not only have they released the hamsters themselves, of which there are four main varieties to appeal to all types of kids, but they have also released a comprehensive set of hamster accessories to tempt your kids further.

At a 7 dollar retail price, Cepia really have made the initial hamster purchase price point accessible to almost everyone. They could actually give it away for free and still make humungous amounts of cash. Hey, maybe that's what will happen in the future? You see, the real profit for the company, come not from the cheap little hamsters themselves, but the wide range of mostly higher priced accessories that kids are driven to once they have their hamster and the parents in turn are forced to buy. However, this is not such a bad idea for the parent and if you play the game right, could actually cost you less than the alternatives available.

Let's face it as parents, kids boredom levels are getting faster and faster by the day. It doesn't matter whether this cute little hamster is the latest craze or not, how much fun and longevity can any reasonable child have with a single pet hamster that scurries on the floor moving in different directions and squeaking whenever it feels the need. Boredom could be only days away.

However, the availability of the great range of Zhu Zhu hamster accessories, seem to continually extend the amount of fun and entertainment that kids get from their toy hamsters and at an exponential manner to boot. The benefit to parents, if they can stand the additional expense and to be fair many of the hamster accessories are pretty cheap, is that the simple purchase of an add-on sends your kid into toy obsession mode again without you needing to go through the cycle of a whole new toy, which probably works out more expensive anyway.

So if you want to extend your child's hamster fun and see just what these hamsters can really do, add a hamster house or car or surfboard and your kid's fun levels will again peak as well as their creativity flowing, especially as friends combine their hamster add-ons and participate in the emerging group hamster games.

The bottom line is that Zhu Zhu hamsters on their own probably have limited attention and play captivation for kids these days, but with the countless accessories available, the fun can just keep going on and on and on. - 31409
