Zhu Zhu Hamster Pets.

I still remember how I really wanted a hamster as a pet when I was kid, I never did get to have one because my mother and I did not see eye to eye at that time and I vowed that whenever I got older, I would certainly allow my children to have these animals in the home, regardless of how old I got.

But as I grew older, my opinion about having hamsters in the home began to change a great deal, that is, of course, until I saw the make believe ones the toy Zhu Zhu Hamster Pets this year.

If you have not yet seen this toy, and if you ever liked hamsters as a kid, then you go to see this particular toy, and you will be totally amazed at how lifelike they are.

When they're running through their trails, it's really hard to tell whether they're toys or real hamster pets. They are small hamsters, life-size, and they actually behave in many ways just like real hamsters.

Zhu Zhu toy hamsters can produce over 40 different squeaks and chatters. Owning one is almost as much fun as having a real live hamster in the house. Your Zhu Zhu toy hamster will run in a hamster ball, and scamper through habitat trails, just like the real ones do.

And all this fun without the mess that a real hamster would make.

It's common knowledge that owning a pet is a great way to teach your children about responsibility. Zhu Zhu toy hamsters make for a great 'practice' pet, before you actually agree to get the real thing.

They come in several different colors, each having its own particular name so they are fun to collect and most children enjoy having more than one. I'm betting once you get Mr.Squiggles, you won't be able to rest until you've added Num Nums, Chunk and Pipsqeek to the pack.

If you or someone in the house suffers with asthma or allergies, and you're not able to live with traditional pets, Zhu Zhu toy hamsters are a perfect solution. No worries about pet dander with these cool toys for kids.

Super smart, realistic hamster fun! Each Zhu Zhu pet hamster has its own unique personality and unique whimsical sounds. In the Loving Mode: You can pet them, love them, and hear them chatter. In the Explore Mode: you can enjoy the fun as they scoot, scamper, across the floor. In the Nurturing mode: listen to these: hamsters coo and purr. Make it all come to life by providing them with their own Hamster Habitat.

You Got to SEE THEM, TOUCH THEM, HEAR THEM, TO BELIEVE THEM. They are better than the REAL THING.

There is Mr. Squiggles who is a modern-day Houdini, and the shy but sweet Num Nums, and yellow Pipsqueek, and Chunk the laid-back white surfer with a big heart.
