Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Guide

If you’ve got kids or you’re kind of a kid at heart, you may have already heard about the Zhu Zhu hamster pets. These are robot hamsters that have artificial intelligence built in. The little plush toys can zip around the room or snuggle with you. As crazy as this sounds, the little critters actually grow on you when you begin to play with them. This is because they each have a unique personality that unfolds as you get to know them.

The company that makes Zhu Zhu hamster pets, Cepia LLC, originally called them Go Go Pet Hamsters. These animatronic hamsters drive around in little cars and come complete with dozens of sounds. They have their own houses and playground which they are quite happy to make use of when you turn on their Explorer mode. When the toy hamsters enter their bathroom they’ll make flushing sounds or brushing sounds. Put them in bed and it will make sleeping noises or wake up to their own alarm clock.

These toys are fairly cheap to purchase if you can still find them in a store. Of course, if you end up being a rabid collector you can spend quite a lot of cash on Zhu Zhu hamster accessories. Right now there are five main characters in the bunch;

Pipsqueak – the yellow Zhu Zhu pet is the petite powerhouse hamster.
Mr. Squiggles – the light brown Zhu Zhu pet loves to explore.
Chunk – a white hamster is a laid-back surfer.
Patches – loves flowers.
Num Nums – loves to eat.

When you get the hamster house you’ll notice that the little rodents will make new sounds in each section of their rooms. The code reader underneath the toy hamster pets makes the Zhu Zhu Pets respond. It’s important to keep them clean and in good condition. They work really well on hard surfaces but don’t respond well on the carpet.

Once you collect the toy hamster pets, you’re going to need the accessories. I would start with the Zhu Zhu hamster pet’s blankets and beds or the starter set that has the fun house, adventure ball, a blanket and bed plus one additional hamster. If you get Chunk, you’ve got to have his surfboard as well. I will warn you that these toys are addictive. The Zhu Zhu pet’s ultimate hamster city has pretty much everything you need. It includes the Zhu Zhu hamsters, all the accessories and even extra batteries.

Right now there is a high demand for these toys and they’re becoming quite difficult to find at the stores. With Christmas right around the corner, you may want to save yourself the stress and hassle by buying them online. One of the reasons why these toys are going fast is because although they are age-specific, everyone loves them. The whole family will want to play which means you’ll need more of these to go around.

There are still places where you can get the Zhu Zhu hamsters cheap but you’ll need to be patient and look around carefully for those bargains.
