My children enjoy these toys very much! I was sent these for review.

By now you have most likely heard the buzz behind the latest toy craze this holiday season; Zhu Zhu Pets. With their ability to behave, react and adapt to their environment like real Hamsters, these little motorized “pets” are stirring up a mad shopping frenzy rivaling past holiday toy crazes like the Tickle Me Elmo and the Furby. Zhu Zhu Pets by themselves are fun enough for many of their young owners, but there are also a myriad of play sets and other accessories available to outfit/entertain your Zhu Zhu; with the various playsets in particular being customizable and combine-able into one large hamster city: providing hours of fun for your kids. Some of the big Zhu Zhu Pets play sets and accessories this holiday season include:

Hamster Funhouse – The Hamster Funhouse is the main hamster accessory for all new Zhu Zhu Pets owners. This habitat for the hamsters has two main areas consisting of a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and a tunnel to connect the two areas together. The playset also features special “bumps” in areas that stimulate the Zhu Zhu Pets to make unique noises such as sleeping noises in the bedroom, or toliet flushing in the bathroom, along with funny movements. Of course the Hamster Funhouse also has openings that allow it to connect with the other Zhu Zhu pets playsets available, making it a great starting point for building your own Hamster City!

Adventure Ball – Another Zhu Zhu Pets accessory inspired by real-life, this clear blue ball works by first placing a stabilizer below the Zhu Zhu Pet hamster, keeping it from tipping over while inside the ball. The hamster is then placed inside the ball where it is free to explore the world around it, especially over rough surfaces such as carpet where Zhu Zhu Pets on their own may have a hard time treading. As a bonus, the Adventure Ball set also includes a “Rattlin’ Clatterin’ Mini Ball” that can be pushed around by the hamster almost anywhere, including within the playsets themselves.

Spiral Slide and Ramp – This playset has your Zhu Zhu Pets hamster scooting up the ramp, then going down and around on a large corkscrew slide. A simple, but fun addition to a Hamster Funhouse and other playsets.

Surfboard and Sleep Dome – The Surfboard and Sleep Dome set makes hamster surfing a reality. The Zhu Zhu Pets hamster can “surf” around a floor with the surfboard, but it can only surf on land, so don’t try it in water! When the hamster is done for the day, it can rest in the included sleep dome.

Hamster Bed and Blanket with Pet Carrier and Blanket – These two accessories provide your Zhu Zhu Pets hamster with a cozy pouch like plush place to snuggle up and “sleep” with the Hamster Bed and Blanket, or a soft and secure way to take your hamster with you with the Pet Carrier and Blanket. Both accessories come in a range of colors, to personalize your Zhu Zhu Pets even further.

Hamstermobile and Garage – Probably the most interesting Zhu Zhu Pets playset is the Hamstermobile and Garage set. The ingenuity of Zhu Zhu Pets’ artificial intelligence is shown when the hamsters enter the garage, hop in the Hamstermobile, open the garage doors, and drive off all by themselves. Many good times can be had watching the hamsters steer, accelerate, brake, and reverse the Hamstermobile all on their own. As long as they don’t find their way out of your house and motoring on real-life roads, that is.

Hamster Wheel and Tunnel – Much like real-life hamster wheels, the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Wheel and Tunnel playset is exactly as it says on the box; “Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters scamper up the ramp to jump on the exercise wheel and start running”. Only unlike a real hamster wheel, it can be connected with other Zhu Zhu Pets playsets.

Skateboard and U-Turn – Similar to the Surfboard and Sleep Dome playset, the Skateboard and U-Turn set has our curious little motorized critters tackling the sport of skateboarding. The Zhu Zhu Pets hop on the skateboard and ride up the included U-Turn ramp, to come down and around back on the ground or to another connected playset. May not be quite as spectacular as surfing, but how many hamsters do you know of that can do one, let alone two sports?

Hamster House Starter Set with Exclusive Patches Hamster – A very special playset, the Hamster House Starter Set, like the other playsets in the Zhu Zhu line, creates a fun little play space for you zhu zhu hamsters to roam around in. Of course, the Hamster House also connects with other Zhu Zhu play sets to create one big hamster city. What makes this play set extra special however is the inclusion of Patches the Hamster. Exclusive to this playset set, Patches is a special yellow hamster with a white patch on his back, not available anywhere other than with the Hamster House Starter Set. What better way to start your Zhu Zhu pets collection than with a special limited edition Zhu Zhu Pet by the name of Patches?

Certain accessories and playsets are also available bundled with one of the five current Zhu Zhu Pets, making it easier to get into owning a Zhu Zhu Pet without having to buy one separately. In addition there are even more Zhu Zhu Pets and accessories coming in 2010, so get your hamster surfboard ready, because the Zhu Zhu Pets wave is just starting to hit!

Every year at Christmas time, there’s a craze that always starts over a handful of toys and this year, it’s the Zhu Zhu Pet Toy Hamsters. Contrary to popular belief, kids are not that easy to please.

They don’t like settling for ‘just anything’ when they really want a particular item any more than adults do. That’s almost like craving chocolate and being offered a bran muffin. Substitutes just don’t hit the mark.

But these pets always hit the mark and they come in different colors and they each have their own way of interacting. The first adorable hamster to make the hot Christmas toy list is named Mr. Squiggles. Kids can stroke his fur, listen to him make his hamster noises and watch him roam around.

Then also in the Zhu Zhu Pet Toy Hamsters family, there’s a lovely yellow one named Pipsqueek. In the play mode, this little guy is just full of fun and surprises. This little guy loves being petted.

Next in the hamster line is called Chunk. This fluffy little white hamster has a more gentle personality and makes such cute hamster noises. The only bad thing about this little guy is like the rest in his family, he’s in high demand and high demand toys are always difficult to find the closer it gets to Christmas. Hopefully production of the product will meet the demand so there won’t be any disappointed little ones who can’t get one until after the holidays.

The shyer hamster of the bunch goes by the name of Num Nums. Like the others, he will coo and make cute hamster associated noises. If you can get online before the rush, go ahead and get as many of these little guys as you need for all the kids on your list because they are items that are so cute they’ve become collectibles.

For added enjoyment for your kids to play with these loving little critters, you can find accessories and most people go ahead and buy both at the same time since they’re sure to get it that way.

One of the hot accessory items is the Hamster Funhouse. This is the home for the hamsters and it even has a little bathroom where the hamsters get ready for bed. The Funhouse also has a bedroom and a kitchen and when the hamsters move around in the house it provides hours of entertainment.

You can also get the Add On Hamster Wheel that allows the pets to exercise on the wheel. Then you can also get the Adventure Ball. Put the hamster inside and watch him go! Finally, another Zhu Zhu Pet Toy Hamsters item that’s part of the craze is the Add On Garage. The pets get to tool around town in their own sedan that gets great hamster mileage. It’s so much fun to watch the hamster get into the car and take off.
