Zhu Zhu Pets In Stock On Black Friday?

As I write this, the Black Friday sales have just started, with shoppers flocking to the stores to pick up a quick bargain when the stores open at midnight. But will they have Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters in stock?

I'm very curious to find out whether stores such as Toys R Us and Walmart will have Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters in stock for the Black Friday sales. There have been lots of rumours that they’ve been holding back stock for the Good Friday sales and now we'll finally find out if they have any!

To be honest, I expect that they will have some stock, but that they won't have nearly enough to satisfy demand.

There have been stories saying that people will be limited to a total of 4 Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters each, so that there's more to go around - and presumably to stop people who try to buy up large numbers so they can turn around and sell them at a huge profit. However, I can't find any authoritative articles to back this up.

So lets turn to the place to get the latest information: Twitter. Apparently Toys R Us do have some in stock, but they are giving out red tickets to the first 100 people, allowing them to buy Zhu Zhu pets. People have been lining up for several hours to get these tickets: Birchall_Jon says:

First 100 have red tickets to buy Zhu Zhu pets - they've been in line for 2hrs.

However, shortly after midnight, carlie_kollath stated that the 100 red tickets went really fast:

All shoppers inside toys r us - no line now. Id bet the zhu zhu pets are long gone. Store mgr Todd Brown said the 100 tickets went FAST!

Shortly afterwards, she mentions that the Zhu Zhu Pets have sold out:

First sale has started at Walmart on N Gloster. Main sale starts at 5. A few people shopping but relatively quiet. Sold out of zhu zhu pets.

This is only a small sample - who knows what's happening at other stores and at Walmart etc. But it's not looking good. Hopefully in the morning, so more details will emerge and I'll update things here.

For now, I'm going to get some sleep. I'd rather buy them on Amazon that be out at the shops at this time!

Where To Buy Zhu Zhu Pets In Canada

In my Where To Buy Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters post, I mentioned that there were people coming to this site to try to find out where they could buy Zhu Zhu Pets in Canada. Since then, I've had a lot more people looking for information about buying them in Canada, so I thought I should look at this more closely.

The Official Word - Zhu Zhu Pets Are Available In Canada

Firstly, according to the official Zhu Zhu Pets website, Zhu Zhu Pets are available for purchase in Canada:

We are the manufacturer/ distributor of these frantically funny furry pet pals, and are most pleased to distribute the Zhu Zhu Pets™ Hamsters and Playsets throughout the US, Europe and Canada.

So we know that they are available in Canada. But where? The obvious places to start are the big stores such as Toys R Us and Walmart.

Zhu Zhu Pets At Toys R Us Canada?

I found a forum posting on SmartCanucks.ca where a poster says that Toys R Us is the only place in Canada carrying Zhu Zhu Pets. I can't find any further information to back this up, but it seems that Toys R Us is the best place to start.

However, further down the same page someone says that Toys R Us Canada can't keep up with the demand so they removed Zhu Zhu Pets from their website.

I ordered 2 Zhu Zhu pets in early October on the Toysrus.ca website. I preordered them to receive Nov30...since then they have taken them off the website completely. I called the customer service line and she said that I would still get mine if I had an order number but they couldn't keep up with the orders so they took the zhu zhu pets right off the website.

Sure enough, when I do a search for Zhu Zhu Pets on the Toys R Us website, I get a message (at least at the time of posting) which says:

We are having trouble locating a match for your search: zhu zhu pets

So strike Toys R Us from the list of possibilities! They are supposed to be carrying the Zhu Zhu Pets range, but they can't keep them in stock, same as the stores south of the border.

Zhu Zhu Pets At Walmart Canada?

Next I turned to Walmart, even though I've found no confirmation that they will sell Zhu Zhu Pets in Canada and the poster on the SmartCanucks forum says that Toys R Us are the only provider. It just seems inconceivable that Walmart won't sell Zhu Zhu Pets. I mean why wouldn't they? However a search of the Walmart Canada website gives me:

We found 0 result(s)  for "zhu zhu pets"

So whatever Walmart are doing in Canada, they're not selling Zhu Zhu Pets on their websites. I can only presume that if you're lucky you may be able to find them in a Walmart store, but that your chances are slim. I'd say it's pretty obvious that they are also having trouble keeping them in stock.

Where Can You Buy Zhu Zhu Pets In Canada?

So really, it seems Canada is no different from the US. Zhu Zhu Pets are available in Canada, but they are just so popular that they can't stay in the stores. Therefore, my answer to the question above is that same that I give to people in the US:

Your best option to buy a Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster before Christmas is to buy them online (but obviously not from Toys R Us or Walmart, who don't have any!). So what's the best option? I think it's Amazon:

There are Zhu Zhu Pets available right now on Amazon.

Yes, they do cost more than list price (and they seem to be going up as Christmas gets closer), but they are in stock and you can buy them right now and have them in a couple of days. That's got to be better than running around and wasting your time at shops that don't have any.

I think the reality is that if you do want to buy some Zhu Zhu Pets before Christmas, you'll have to pay over the odds. It's either that or forget Zhu Zhu Pets and find something else for your kids.

Zhu Zhu Pets Not Available In Walmart

I haven't seen much in the mainstream media about this, but I have seen this reported on Twitter, Yahoo Answers and on blogs: Apparently Walmart refused to sell Zhu Zhu Pets stock to customers and held them back for a sale on 11/8 - but then they had virtually none to sell for that sale!

It started when I noticed quite a few unhappy people on Twitter saying that they found Zhu Zhu Pets in Walmart, but were told they couldn't buy them when they got to the counter. They were told that the stock had to be held for a sale on 11/8.

Some argued and eventually got them to sell the stock, some got them to put the Zhu Zhu Pets aside for them to come and buy on 11/8 and some left the store empty handed and angry.

There is a story on DigTriad about people mistakenly thinking that Zhu Zhu Pets had been recalled, which goes on to confirm that stock had been held back from sale at Walmart. The story quotes Walmart as saying:

In a handful of stores, a few hamsters were placed on shelves too early, and therefore their sale was already blocked until this Sunday. Walmart apologizes for any inconvenience to customers, but says it is important to ensure when a product is advertised, it is indeed on the shelves. The product will be on store shelves Sunday, Nov. 8.

However, that's not the real story here - the real story is that come the sale on 11/8, there were still almost no stock in the Walmart stores. There are some scathing comments over on a post on Paula Neal Mooney's blog. Here's just a couple of quotes from the comments section:

Simnuts on November 7th, 2009

Went at 12:10 am on 11/08 and was told ’sorry all sold out already we had only 5 although our stock tickets say we have 16, but well we cant find them.”

Yes, that's sold out at 10 minutes after midnight. So much for a big sale! Personally, I'm wondering where the other 11 Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters disappeared to! Simnuts goes on to say that another store in the area didn't get any stock for the 11/8 sale and that the sale was obviously a marketing ploy.

barbie on November 10th, 2009

Wal-mart scammed consumers once again, by providing a limited supply of Zhu zhu pets. I went to two wal-marts on 11/08 and expected to see at least a large empty display, but there was one small empty hanger that could have contained maybe 10 toys.

Barbie goes on to call it false advertising and claim that Walmart had only received 40 toys from the manufacturer that week.

Anyway, this has obviously left people even more frustrated in their search for Zhu Zhu Pets and not particularly happy with Walmart. However, for whatever reason, this hasn't been widely reported in the mainstream media.

Personally, I'd forget about trying to buy Zhu Zhu Pets at a local store as it's just too much hassle! I'd be willing to pay a little bit extra to buy them online from Amazon right now and not have to deal with all the troubles that people are encountering.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On The Web - 9 November 2009

Here are some of the recent Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters related picks from around the web over the last week or so. This week, we only have entries from Twitter, but hopefully we'll have a wider cross-section for you next time!

Final Thoughts

That's it for this post - I'll be adding more Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster updates from around the web every few days.

Where To Buy Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters?

Where can I buy Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters? That's the question that every parent will be asking themselves this Christmas time, as they search for the hottest toy on the market, the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster (formerly known as Go Go Pet Hamsters).

Hint: I'll talk about where you can buy them below, but the quickest way is to buy them online from Amazon.

Where To Find Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters?

You SHOULD be able to buy a Zhu Zhu Pets hamster at a toy shop near you. The big toy store chains, such as Toys R Us, will all be carrying them. You'll also be able to get them at stores such as Walmart and Target. In fact, any toy store not planning to go out of business will be carrying these popular pet hamsters.

As well as buying them from a physical store, you can also buy Zhu Zhu Pets online. Personally, I find this much more convenient. No need to go out into the rush, just find the product online, place an order and wait for it to turn up a couple of days later.

The number one place to buy Zhu Zhu Pets online is Amazon. You'll notice that I only to link to Amazon on this site. They are a reputable seller and you can often find items cheaper on Amazon than you can in a physical store (though not necessarily in the Zhu Zhu Pets case!).

If you want to purchase Zhu Zhu Pets via Amazon, you can either go there directly or you can browse the full range of Zhu Zhu Pets products on our site and follow the links to the product you want to buy.

Ebay is another option, although I've heard stories of over inflated prices on eBay. Amazon occasionally suffers from this, but the problem doesn't seem to be anywhere near as bad. Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable buying Zhu Zhu Pets on eBay. Neither would I buy from smaller shops online as they don't have the same reputation that Amazon has.

But The Zhu Zhu Pets Are Sold Out

One of the recurring themes I've noticed is that people are having trouble finding any Zhu Zhu Pets products left in the shops.

Have a look at the Twitter section of my latest Zhu Zhu Pets On The Web roundup. Out of the 15 tweets I've listed, 8 are about people desperately looking for Zhu Zhu Pets, while 3 are from people celebrating that they have finally found some. Apparently neither ToysRUs, Target, or Walmart can keep any Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters in stock. The tweets mention people sleeping outside ToysRUs, or camping out at Target, just to buy Zhu Zhu Pets!

Also, when I look at the search terms people have used to arrive at this website, I can find similar themes. Here are just some of the real search terms that have been entered into Google:

• does anyone know when the zhu zhu pets will be back in stock
• when will walmart get more zhu zhu hamsters
• when is the best days to get zhu zhu pets at walmart
• can't find zhu zhu pets anywhere
• best way to find zhu zhu pets
• zhu zhu pets how to find them
• zhu zhu pets where to find them
• zhu zhu where to find it
• zhu zhu find
• why are zhu zhu pets so hard to find
• why can't find zhu zhu pets
• where to buy zhu zhu, skateboard
• find zhu zhu hamsters
• where can you buy winkie zhu zhu pet
• looking for zhu zhu pets accessories

Okay then! People are obviously having trouble finding Zhu Zhu Pets in the conventional stores and asking for help in their search for them. I have an answer for these people below!

Another thing I noticed were the following search terms:

• can't find zhu zhu pets in canada
• where do they sell zhu zhu in canada?
• when will zhu zhu pets be available in canada?

Okay, so people in Canada are wondering where to buy Zhu Zhu Pets in Canada. Fair enough. People all around the world are wondering the very same thing. There will be people wanting to buy Zhu Zhu Pets in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and probably hundreds of other countries. Once again, I have the answer for these people below!

The Answer: Zhu Zhu Pets Are Available Online!

Yes that's right! Go to Amazon's Zhu Zhu Pets page and you'll see that there are Zhu Zhu Pets products available. For example, right now at the time of posting, Mr Squiggles is available - there are 176 new ones that can be bought.

Admittedly, the cost is a little higher than if you manage to get one at Walmart, but you can buy one right now! No sleeping in front of the store. No running around from store to store. Simply go to Amazon, place an order and your Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster will turn up in the post.

This is also the answer for those people wanting to buy Zhu Zhu Pets in Australia, UK, etc, as Amazon can ship stuff to you.

Anyway, I'll leave it there for now. If you're chasing Zhu Zhu Pets, buying them from Amazon is the way to go!

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On The Web - 2nd November 2009

Here are some of the recent Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters related picks from around the web over the last week or so:

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On YouTube

There are loads of reviews and Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster related videos on YouTube, with more being added every day. Here are some of the best recent clips:

This video shows a bunch of kids (well 8 to 10 kids actually) racing their Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters. They line them up, let them go and those little pet hamster toys are off and racing. Who's going to win?

This is a really good view of the hamster environment, they seem to have most of the accessories. You get to see the hamsters jumping around, you seem them driving their car, navigating the tunnels, etc.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On Twitter

Here are some of the best recent Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster related tweets, along with my comments in italics:

• by ZhuZhuHunters: Where have YOU been having luck finding Zhu Zhu Pets at retail? Do you have any tricks/hints to share?
  Comment: If you're having trouble finding them in a retail store, I'd recommend buying Zhu Zhu Pets online. Even then there are no guarantees that you'll be able to find them at retail prices, but it's the place to start looking. Much easier than driving around stores only to find that they are out of pet hamster toys.
• by kittykat6182: is on cloud 9 we found zhu-zhu pets. they are a VERY hot item this holiday season
  Comment: Hey great stuff! It just goes to show that you can find Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters out there if you persevere.
• by memoriesbymicha: Honestly can't figure out why O wants Zhu Zhu pets for Christmas! Looks boring to me! But at least I found the house and garage ;)
  Comment: I'm not sure I understand WHY, but I definitely understand that kids DO love the Zhu Zhu Pets range for some reason.
• by ZhuZhuHunters: Where have YOU been having luck finding Zhu Zhu Pets at retail? Do you have any tricks/hints to share?
  Comment: Buy the Zhu Zhu Pets (and associated accessories) online.
• by sbennettwealer: It's not my imagination! Zhu Zhu Pets are basically impossible to find. We've had some on back order from Target since Sept!
  Comment: You really have to hand it to Cephia, they've really whipped up a storm with these toy hamsters. But stick with it, I'm sure you'll find some soon!
• by teknofetish: none in walmart, none in toysrus.. we need zhu zhu pets! :(
  Comment: If you're wondering where to buy zhu zhu pets hamsters, then try buying them online.
• by therealTKNOCK: Brendan wants those damn Zhu Zhue Pets....Are they for boys???
  Comment: Zhu Zhu Pets are for both boys and girls. There are lots of little girls out there who are very happily playing with their hamster toys even as I write this.
• by beth__: My kid wants Zhu Zhu pets for Xmas, but hello - they are not cheap!! Real hamsters would cost less, but they smell.
  Comment: Well you're missing a major point regarding the cost. Real hamsters cost you money week after week. You have to feed them, take them to the vet if they get sick etc. I know they don't cost as much as most pets, but they are an ongoing, recurring cost. Electronic toy hamsters only cost once, then they're free (well apart from the occasional battery).
• by heatherjahayhay: @Claritybleeds Matty b are you camped out at target waiting for a shipment of zhu zhu pets?
  Comment: Don't camp out. Wait at home and buy Zhu Zhu Pets online!
• by happycube: would like Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Mr. Squiggles
  Comment: Get across to our page showing the full Zhu Zhu Pets product range. There you'll find links allowing you to buy Mr Squiggles online.
• by Caitsmomma: I HATE every person who buys all the Zhu Zhu pets and sells them for 3 or 4x the price. So many kids will be disappointed this Xmas. JERKS!!
  Comment: Yes, I agree that this is wrong. They are driving up the price beyond the means of many people. Still I'm hopeful that more units will be released in the near future and that it will ease the price.
• by myfunkycamera: Ohmygosh!! people sleep outside of ToysRus to get zhu zhu pets!!!
  Comment: And that says everything about how popular Zhu Zhu Pets will be this Christmas. Of course, I would have slept at home and bought them online!
• by MomTalkRadio: Very excited to be the marketing team behind several hot sellers right now- Zhu Zhu Pets and Temple Touch Themometers.
  Comment: Well your marketing team has done an exceptional job to keep the popularity of the Zhu Zhu Pets so high and have everyone desparately trying to buy them.
• by meghuff99: I'm on the hunt for Zhu Zhu Pets! If anyone can help a sista out and let me know if u see any of the items at any stores! Thanks!
  Comment: I'll say again - why not buy the Zhu Zhu Pets online?
• by SarahSumpolec: May be banned from target for a while, but I have Zhu Zhu pets (can't find the pink one!) Funny how important these things are to a mom.
  Comment: LOL, "might be banned from target for a while". Classic! I hope you didn't have to hurt anyone to get your Zhu Zhu Pets - there's a level of desperation that you should never go beyond. Of course you could have bought them online.

Final Thoughts

That's it for this post - I'll be adding more Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster updates from around the web every few days.

  Well I wouldn't go that far to get my hands on a Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster. 

Final Thoughts

That's it for this post - I'll be adding more Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster updates from around the web every few days.

More Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters To Come

More Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters To Come

As the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters currently available (well when they're not sold out), Chunk, Pipsqueak, Mr Squiggles and Num Nums are becoming very well known. However, there are other little toy hamsters out there waiting for their moment in the spotlight.

The first of these is Patches, the least known member of the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster clan. Patches is already available, but only as part of the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster House Starter Set or the Funhouse Set with Hamster. You can't get him via an individual hamster pack or any of the other combo pack. If you really want him, you're going to have to buy one of these sets.

Also, the official Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster blog has said that there are more Hamsters coming:

There are some amazing new characters coming out in the future for everyone to enjoy! You may have seen them on the back of some packaging that is in stores now. There is a great new girl named Jilly, who is sporting some pink and white. There is also a dark brown hamster named Scoodles, a black and white buddy, who goes by the name Winkie, and last but not least, Nugget!

The same post also give a little more information about the new pet hamsters, when talking about their birthmarks (the patterns on their backs):

Jilly has cherries (she is sweet and happy!), Winkie has a footprint (he is a world traveler!), Scoodles has a nut (he loves nuts and being nutty!!), and Nugget has a butterfly (she is a daydreamer and loves chasing butterflies!)

I think I'm going to be a Winkie fan!

Anyway, there are definitely going to be more pet hamsters coming. Counting the current four, plus Patches, plus four new hamsters, that means there will be a total of 9 hamster toys. I wouldn't be surprised if Cephia LLC (the company who make the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters) were keeping a few more their sleeves as well!

Also, I'd extremely surprised if there weren't some new accessories to come as well. If Cephia have been clever enough to keep some new hamsters up their sleeves, to be released a little closer to Christmas, you can be sure that there will be some super accessories coming as well.

Of course, the logical extension of that is that there'll be some new packs coming out as a result of these new pet hamsters and any new accessories that do materialise. Just what combinations they come up with for their packs is anyone's guess.

Cephia do seem to be very clever marketers, so I'm thinking that there will be some great, must have Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters packs coming out in time for Christmas. Whether the new products actually stay in stock is anyone's guess. I'd recommend try to buy the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters online.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On The Web - 21 October 2009

Here are some of the recent Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters related picks from around the web over the last week or so:

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On YouTube

There are loads of reviews and Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster related videos on YouTube, with more being added every day. Here are some of the best recent clips:

This is the official ad, which I've already posted before, but apparently this version is clearer and the sound is better.

This clip shows someone who got 3 packages in the mail filled with different zhu zhu pet items. It's quite long at 4 minutes and also pretty jerky (with a section of black screen in the middle), but may be worth a look.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On Twitter

Here are some of the best recent Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster related tweets, along with my comments in italics:

• by Totzylala: on the look out for Zhu Zhu pets....
• by SwissCookie: what are they? keep hearing about them RT: @ladybug_3777: I'm 4th in line at toys r us waiting for zhu zhu pets! Hoping to score!!!

• by ericstephani: Thank God Isabella is still too young for these Zhu Zhu Pets.
• by motleyclimber: Spent the day in Lexington. Looked everywhere for the Zhu Zhu pets, finding only empty shelves. These critters are very elusive...
• by ladybug_3777: Now i have to take random photos around the house to try and push the photos off the front page! Damn you zhu zhu pets AGAIN!!
• by EllieAnnaPurses: YAY!!! My cousin found 2 more Zhu Zhu pets for my kids~only had 1!!!
• by pintsizesocial: RT @IsabellaPrdcts Just like @pintsizesocial said, zhu zhu pets getting a lot of attention for a popular holiday children's gift
• by bluepaintred: I have solved the mystery of why I cannot find anything related to Zhu Zhu pets in stores. Not available in Canada, Bastards.
  Perhaps they are available under the Go Go Pets branding? I've heard reports that they're being sold under that brand in Australia.
• by ZhuZhuHunters: Mr. Squiggles to be at STL zoo this Saturday, zhu zhu pets giveaways! I wish I didn't have other plans cuz I want to GO!!!
• by Caitsmomma: Zhu Zhu pets why must you be so elusive?
• by PilarAsh: I hate that the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters are sold out at all the regular toy stores but you can find them on ebay for 2-3 times regular price
  I've noticed that too. I guess when something is as popular as the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters, there will be shortages. When there are shortages, the price will be inflated. I'm sure there are people out there making money off hot products such as the Zhu Zhu Pets. I agree that inflated prices suck, but that's the market economy in action. People don't have to buy them if they can't find them at the recommended retail price.
• by ZhuZhuHunters: Is anyone finding Zhu Zhu Pets in odd stores??
  What sort of odd stores? Ones that sell odd things? I guess you mean small toy stores that aren't part of the big toy chains.
• by meow154: Been looking for Zhu Zhu pets on line. Seems everyone is sold out or asking way to much! Have a kid that wants one bad!
• by Fresh_Trendz: Breanna Monroe is a huge Zhu Zhu pets fan. Just Zhu Zhu pets EVERYWHERE! In the bathroom, On the steps, On the island, In my closet Ugghhh

  See above. You didn't have to buy it! But understand the frustration.
• by ZhuZhuHunters: There are reports that the Zhu Zhu Pets are NOT in this week's Target ad, but they ARE supposed to be put on shelves tomorrow! We will see!
• by motleyclimber: Going crazy looking for Zhu Zhu Pets!(robo-hamsters) aka Mr Squiggles! Cant findem anywhere. Kristens b-day party next Sat. Clock is ticking
• by lunabellcharil: wtf zhu zhu pets. What is so fun about watching a toy hamster play BY ITSELF?! I can imagine the novelty will only last about three minutes.
  The artificial intelligence in these things is fantastic. They don't just do they same thing over and over – their actions vary. I imagine it will take quite a while for the novelty to wear off. Of course it will, it does for most new toys, but I think it will last longer than on average.
• by hedjemunkee: My mom ROCKS! She found 2 of those Zhu Zhu Pets for the girls. That was the hard part...now to start working.
• by miss_melissa_: @racharoo zhu zhu pets & an mp3 player & stuff. She's been feverish since thurs or else I would have considered it. She's def better today

• by LELakeZurich: Zhu Zhu Pets are now on sale at our Lake Zurich store location. Come on in and see what all the buzz is.
  Good news for those in Switzerland. You may have what the rest of the world is desperately searching for.

• by Kargach: Still recovering from getting up early to help Gen's sister buy Zhu Zhu Pets at Toys R Us.
• by keen23: Desperately seeking Zhu Zhu pets. The kids have decided that they NEED them for Christmas this year. Way better than real hampsters I guess.
  Actually, I think real hamsters would be much better for kids, but of course in modern life, a high tech electronic hamster is more convenient.
• by angieortinau: @hthrvghn Those dang Zhu Zhu pets are the talk of the web. Sold out everywhere! So glad Lucie isn't big enough to ask Santa for them.
  I think even Santa will have a tough job making sure that there are enough Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters around for Christmas.

That's it for this post - I'll be adding more Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster updates from around the web every few days.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On The Web - 15 October 2009

Here are some of the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters related picks from around the web in the last 24 hours:

The Official Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters Blog

Over on the official Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters blog, they're carrying a word search for the kids to complete. The word search can be downloaded as a PDF, then printed out and completed. You have to search for Zhu Zhu Pets related words in the matrix of letters, then circle the words. For example, one I found was Sleep Dome.

Great fun for the kids and good for their education as well.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On YouTube

As always, there a lot of reviews and other related videos on YouTube. Here are some from the last 24 hours:

A review of a brand new Mr. Squiggles Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster. The reviewer has obviously just received it. She doesn't really take it out of the box, but she does make it 'talk' and it's interesting to hear the sounds it makes.

She mentions that the pet hamsters are smaller than she'd expected, but she doesn't seem to suggest that it's a problem in anyway.

She also shows that the box has pictures of 5 other pet hamsters that haven't been released yet. I have a half written post about this topic - I'll try to get it up in the next day or two..

In this video, a nine year old girl called Katie is interviewed about why she like the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters. She's fairly shy and doesn't give out much in the way of new information, but it's interesting to hear what children really think of them.

Oh and she has a Mr. Squiggles hamster in her hands. Seems he's popular today doesn't it. Two videos, two pet hamsters, two Mr. Squiggles.

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On Twitter

Here are some of the best recent Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster related tweets, along with my comments in italics:

• by ladybug_3777: I plan to stake out our local Toys R Us tomorrow morning for these darn zhu zhu pets. I'll be the one in her PJs with a horrendous cough!
• by newalval: It is being predicted that Zhu Zhu Pets are going to be the number one selling toy this holiday season.
  
  You got that right! They will be the hottest selling item this Christmas.
• by jazzyrae: what the hell are these fake hamsters I keep seeing? Zhu Zhu Pets?

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On The Web - 14 October 2009

There's no doubt that Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters are hot right now. Here are some of the recent Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters related picks from around the web:

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On YouTube

There are loads of reviews and Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster related videos on YouTube, with more being added every day. Here are some of the best recent clips:

A great verbal review of Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters, with a man interviewing his two kids. As the description of the video says:

They'll tell you: 1) How they discovered the Zhu Zhu pet phenomena 2) Which Zhu Zhu pet is their individual favorite 3) Why they like Zhu Zhu pets better than real hamsters 4) Where Zhu Zhu pets rank on the "must have toy" list

The only negative is that there is no actual footage of the the pet hamsters, or the people, it's just of the official website.

Okay, this video actually shows some children playing with the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters. They seem to have most of the Zhu Zhu Pets accessories, so you can get a real feel for what the toys are like

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters On Twitter

Here are some of the best recent Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster related tweets, along with my comments in italics:

• by ZhuZhuPetShop: Walmart Zhu Zhu pets, sold-out | The Composed Gentleman http://tinyurl.com/yj8tgvx
• by threefourteen: #STL PLZ- If you are near a toy aisle in the next 2 days.. Look for ZHU ZHU pets.. Plz DM- Need them for bday party THX!
• by articles4author: Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Toys - Are They Safe For Your Child?: With any new toy that comes onto the market these da.. http://tinyurl.com/yfyd73x
  Only a small article but makes a good point. How do we know that new toys such as Zhu Zhu Toys Pets Hamsters are safe for our kids?
• by neil411: Just bought four Zhu Zhu Pets for my nephew. They just happened to be in stock at Target. Almost gone after my visit, though.
• by 2icarly3: Actually think that the Zhu Zhu Pets look cool. Arranging a path for your electronic hamster to walk, not a bad toy idea!
  Actually that's a great idea. You don't have to use the tunnels, you don't have to use the wide open floor - why not make your own path with various obstacles.
• by thekeatingcat: @brittanykins ZHU ZHU PETS ARE SO CUTE.
  Agreed!
• by HOLDitUP: Farm breakfast was a hit! Now we're hitting the toy store in hopes of scoring some zhu zhu pets! I need another cup of coffee (or three)!
• by articles4author: @mnstrsnmnchkns the zhu zhu pets are so awesome! i love them!!! its a must for this holiday season!!
• by piesky: zhu zhu pets....where oh where?
  I'll be trying to answer that in a future post...
• by j_z_qua: @crisangwich thanks so much for posting!! My daughter has wanted a guinea pig for sooo long so the zhu zhu pets are a perfect compromise
  Actually, as much as I love the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters, I don't think they are a substitute for the real thing. I wouldn't criticize anyone for buying them for their kids, because I totally understand the pressures of modern life, but it would be so much better for kids to experience the real thing.
• by rachaelbender: @AnneMGross My zhu zhu pets playdate was great. All the kids loved it and they got to take a hamster home with them!
• by Ed_Roberts: @bocatoystore I saw you have Zhu Zhu Pets. My son really wants one. He saw the commercial again here last night. Wife isn't convinced yet.
• by AshleyMariex0: Seriously, zhu zhu pets are not worth lining up at Target for
  I wouldn't be so sure about that! It depends on whether you're willing to disappoint your kids! I wouldn't line up to buy Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters for me, but I would do it for my kids…

Older Products

These products are not necessarily from the Zhu Zhu Pets range - they are either from the Go Go Pets range, which was relaunched as Zhu Zhu Pets on 1 September 2009, or closely related products.

This DOES include pet hamsters, but it is NOT part of the Zhu Zhu Pets collection. It cannot be connected to the ZhuZhu Pets Funhouse, the pet hamster is not the same as the Zhu Zhu ones, etc.
