Zhu Zhu Hamsters...The Next Big Thing

Mr. Squiggles & Chunk
Hamster House Starter Kit


We've seen countless animal-themed toys come and go -- Pucci Pets, Fur Reals, Pound Puppies, My Little Pony, Puppy Club...you get the picture. Well, there's a new little animal in town and due to its modest price, it's expected to be one of the most-purchased toys this holiday season.

I saw these little cuties some time ago for a mear $8 at Wal-Mart, and now it seems that can't seem to keep the shelves stocked before they sell out. Amazon is selling them for close to 60 dollars!!

They go by the fancy name of Zhu Zhu Hamsters. It's a battery-powered hamster.They squeak and move around like real hamsters, but unlike real hamsters, they require no unpleasant cleanup and -- this is the best part-- they all drive around in tiny cars. Yes, that's right they're battery powered driving hamster. There are five hamsters available, Mr. Squiggles, Chunk, Patches, Pipsqueak, & NumNums. Chunk is my personal favorite as the laid back hamster of the group. In addition to the five hamsters, there are also a number of other accessories available as well, Hamster Funhouses, Cars, Surfboards, Hamster Beds & Blankets, the list goes on and on.

So if you haven't started your holiday shopping yet, chances are that these little guys just might find their way into your home and under your tree. Happy shopping everybody, and good luck finding one of these guys on the shelves.
