Almost every year, there seems to be at least one toy that stores can't seem to keep stock of. In years past, we've seen the craze has been for toys likeTickle Me Elmo, Cabbage Patch Kids or Webkinz. This year, the rage is all about Zhu Zhu pets.
These little guys are made to look like real hamsters, so that children can have a closely simulated experience to owning a real pet. This is leaps and bounds past toy pets of even a year or so ago by incorporating real hamster like motion and activity without the need to actually take care of one or the risk losing a cherished pet.
But should you bother getting one? Live hamsters themselves are relatively low in price, although if you decide to accessorize, you might find yourself spending a bit more than you expected. Most people can see a pro in not having to worry about how rough a kid is playing with it or having to change the cage. But some have presented concern that this toy is fails to teach children any sense of responsibility has far as pets are concerned.
A child will never be able to completely connect with a Zhu Zhu Pet as they could with a real pet hamster, or any pet for that matter. But that's not what could be the toy's real merit. This is a good step in between not having a pet and later having one with full responsibility. Caring, even in part, for a Zhu Zhu could inspire your child to be truly devoted to a real one.
An example might be a two year old that loves an older child's pet hamster. You may not want to get a real hamster for a two year old, because that would be a short, sad fate for the hamster. But with a Zhu Zhu pet, your child can have almost as much fun without the fear of hurting it.
The Zhu Zhu Pet is integrated with technology to interact to any accessories purchased for it, as well as the mechanics to simulate the actions of a normal hamster, which include: sporadic movements, sleeping, and normal hamster noises. The Zhu Zhu goes one step more, allowing the pets to do tricks as well.
While it may true that Zhu Zhu pets are destined to be a passing flash in the pan like many others before it, they're still wildly popular. Whatever your view on fads or if you don't like real hamsters, or maybe your kids aren't ready for real pets, they all are ready for a Zhu Zhu Pet as evidenced by the hundreds of thousands that have already been sold.
